Strangely Compelling
8 August 2018 - 4 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
This isn't a competition. It's a strangely compelling experience on what it would be like to be left alone and be left to your own resources to survive. The compelling part is that the contestants know there are others also stranded and that the contestants make the decision whether to team up or go it alone until help arrives. Completely unlike any other reality show in that the winner or multiple winners are those that stick it out till the end, possibly helping each other to make it to the end so that they all "win" together. Initially slow paced, yet the individuals back stories provide great insight into their persona that provides the depth into the personal journey that lies ahead of them.
