I thought I hated this show for the first few episodes. It felt contrived and unnatural. The format was different from other survival shows and the reading of the diaries felt distracting. However, I still wanted to know how it ended and as the series went along the device of people's inner most thoughts narrating events made more sense. If there is a second series, there needs to be less 'at home' and more of the action. But, over all it was, dare I say it, quite thought provoking and I'm glad to have watched it and interested to know what happened to them afterwards.
