It appeared to start off well but by E3/S1 I could not bare the acting any more especially the 'mysterious' ex-military woman. I actually thought it was real at first but when 2 of the contestant's decided to find a different way to the camp at the beginning and not follow the flags (hello, you are 500 miles from anywhere and you have no idea where you are) and when the deaths occurred, and the rustling and noises began, I began to wonder... WTF?. Finally, When the 'secret' hut caught fire (where all their supplies were conveniently stashed)and then, in the background I saw the white van in the distance I switched off, never to return!

I was totally shocked by this show. The first episode may throw many people off. In fact, I was about to hit the "X" button on my media player too. But when I looked at the genre category again, I gave it a chance.And oh boy am I glad that I did! This show is not what it seems like at first!The acting is phenomenal and the script is unique, thrilling and captivating!We need more shows like this!I haven't been able to stop watching and I got through 7 episodes on the first two days (I'm a pretty busy guy, working full time and doing my masters full time as well)It's full of twists and turns,and the pace doesn't slow down at all. In fact, it gets too fast to keep up at sometimes.Occasionally checking your phone to send out an email may result in you having to rewind!A must watch!

I had never heard much about this show - which should have tipped me off, but I stumbled across it while flipping through OnDemand and figured I'd give it a chance. I made it through half the first episode before I figured out it was all crap. This was underscored several times by the actions of the cast. One of the biggest give-aways was the oh so typical movie "mouth full of oatmeal puke" spewed by one of the cast members after having a finger shoved down her throat.Now, I have to state for the record, I HATED Lost. It, too, was a total waste of my time. This show has been compared to that which might explain why I hate it as well. I think had the show actually been 'real', with contestants actually trying to survive in Siberia (instead of Canada), it would have been much more interesting. Just another show made to make producers wealthy and keep the sheeple focused on drivel vs anything substantial. The only reason I gave it two stars is because some of the female cast members aren't awful to look at. It's pathetic that something so shallow and degrading is the only single thing I can find as a reason someone would watch this mess.Oh, and on a side note, someone needs to track down the annoying actress that plays Esther and stab her with a Buick.

Excellent series. I am a reality show watcher. Hubby is not. BUT I may say that we both are hooked. We watch series after series on HULU.Addicted...I agree that is similar to LOST. With the suspense of having something "out there in the forest" nipping off people slowly. The strange horn from the box sound similar to the LOST siren. I can't seem to tell who is a contestant and who is an actor. Are the injuries real? Is the hunting real? What is going on people....I do not want to watch ahead with out the family. I even have my mom hooked. The suspense and the edge of the seat moments are priceless. I happened to stumble upon this series because it automatically began playing after I watched the end of another series on HULU. If anyone has any other suggestions, let me know. Thank you.
