I put this on just to have some braincandy in the background while I assembled some furniture and got so annoyed at the inane prattle by the characters that I almost broke it.
The absolute cringe-worth reenactment of the fist settlers landing here (complete with their generous help being repaid with inevitable betrayal and accusations of savagery) was just... crap. DO BETTER.
Why on earth has nobody outed the violent drug dealer yet? The woman who helped kidnap a child years ago and has been violent and threatening ever since getting there? Uh, yes she SHOULD be handcuffed to the car!
Son who votes his Mom be banished to die in the woods and radiates super creepy predator vibes need to be taken over someone's knee. You just KNOW he'd be slipping something into some girl's drink at a jock party back home. Woe unto his love interest if she loses interest in him. Her body's gonna wind up being stuffed into a cave somewhere.
It's astonishing all the LA people who happened to have warm jackets when they fell through. As a native, that's almost the most unbelievable part!
Speaking of LA... a guy just happens to remember that he saw a huge semi "a few miles that way..." and never thought to mention it till NOW?!!? Not when people were starving? Could have been full of food! Or medical or camping supplies! Of course nah, it's got some costumes that are all still hung up despite falling thousands of feet.
Speaking of which... mushrooms have very little nutritional value. Almost no net calories. People aren't surviving on that. Yet nobody seems concerned about gathering food, hunting, fishing. There's gonna be a lot of plastic surgery scars popping open from scurvy if they don't get some Vitamin C soon.
They VERY obvious attempts to clone Lost in some way (even blatantly mentioning it at
one point) are just sad. The attempt at intrigue, plot twists, and cliff hanger endings just seem like a desperate attempt to keep a job. Somehow trying too hard and not hard enough, all at once.
