My comments:  The reviews for this were absolutely horrible.  And they were RIGHT!  What a mess. They decided to include as much grimness and ruthlessness as possible.  There were endless scenes...any, entire episodes, that didn't even take place on the island that were a total and complete waste of time and talent.  In the hands of decent writers this could've been a lot of fun, but it was a total waste of time and money.  SPOILER SYNOPSIS:  Ten inmates from a Texan penitentiary death row are put into a simulation on a supposedly deserted island, without their memories, and then hatefully kill and maim each other under the guise of nature vs. nurture experimentation.  An interesting premise that went nowhere but down....

Storyline from IMBdWhen ten people wake up on a treacherous island with no memory of who they are and how they got there, they set off on a trek to try to get back home, only to discover the world is not as it seems.
