Review of Love Island

I sat down to watch this with a friend for us both to laugh at the contestants for the first episode and find something more meaningful to do with our time after that. As we finished watching the first episode we both knew it was utter crap and probably a waste of time but despite knowing this we continued to the next episode, we spent 12 hours of our lives that night and subsequently every episode since then wondering why we were watching this horrific yet addictive pile of excrement. The thing with it is that the producers have realised what they are making and unlike all others of its kind have steered into it.

While others site us to watch X-Factor / The Voice / Britain's Got Talent and other such garbage I would honestly cancel all 3 of those shows for another season of Love Island right away. In the episode featuring 12 idiotic young adults attempting to care for plastic children I have probably laughed more times than collectively across all the "mature comedy" on TV nowadays.

The plain raw humanity of the show ridiculed by the producers is comedic and dramatic gold and I have thoroughly enjoyed my viewing. I'd advise new viewers to give the first episode a go. If they don't like it (like the vast majority of the other "unbias" reviewers of this program) then don't watch it.

Please note this is a review of Season 4 only.
