Storyline

This show focuses on 7 of the 10 teenage survivors of a plane crash. They're all from LA but not all of them are friends. Their plane lands on some island in the South Pacific. 3 of the teens and the pilot go off in the jungle to explore it leaving the other 7 to worry about setting up camp and finding enough food and water. They have a radio but it is a long time before they get any contact with anyone. Each episode takes place within 1 or half a day of them being on the island. Drama occurs between the castaways revealing their insecurities, crushes, egos, and social problems. Surviving becomes more than just finding enough food and shelter. They eventually become like a family, having to learn to live and work together

User Reviews

I hope this show lasts...

I like this show. I have to say that it's a kid version of Lost, but it's not as dramatic as Lost, so it's suitable for kids. And that's good.

There have been a lot of shows that I've liked, but haven't gone on for a long time. It's actually kinda sad. Some good shows just aren't caught on by people, and it's not as popular as other ones. I hope this stays on for a while, it's got a good plot, and it's not so 'heavy' as other shows. Even though it's a 'kids' show, or 'preteen' or whatever you wanna call it, it's a fun show that everyone can like. But to like it, it's gotta be aired for a while, right?

I also LOVE the fact that it's filmed in HAWAi'I!!! Chee-hee!! Haha, I love it, 'cause I'm from Hawai'i. So yeah, makes sense huh? But really, it's a fun show. I hope it lasts.
