There are a few obvious flaws (like why don’t the girls see the cameras that apparently are all over the island recording them?) but if you can get past the nonsensical logistics, this has good acting, nicely directed and is totally engrossing. Similar to season one of LOST in several ways, each episode features a survivor that tells their story via flashbacks to introduce us to them. If you liked LOST, chances are you’ll love this.

The characters and/or the portrayals of them fell flat for me. I didn’t see what either one saw in each other. He was an average apathetic wannabe rapper with no future and I couldn’t buy into the fact that she was some popular, interesting “innovative” chef. Neither was very funny and where was the chemistry? and how could he afford to move to his own place? His bad version of the Billy Crystal When Harry Met Sally speech made me long for a better-acted and well-written RomCom. Don’t waste your time.
