"Oh and... by the way. I wasn't trying to rape you. There's no such thing like that in a place like this. There's just sex and no sex. We didn't have any sex."

- Actual line of dialogue from the pilot of "The I-Land." This shit is remarkable.

"So it's a whole survival of the fittest type of thing?"

"Well, I mean you are pretty fit."

I also want to audit the books on "The I-Land." I'm pretty sure it's an elaborate tax scheme.

i watched the trailer for this, could tell it was awful, decided to watch it anyway to laugh at it terribleness and still i underestimated how bad it ended up being. someone must have walked into a pitch meeting using buzzwords like "lost". "westworld", [insert prison drama] and got a show.

It looked worse than "Another Life" and that was execrable.

[sparklytootsie]

i had enough wits about me to not watch that but later backoff and selma blair deserved better!

"Only I'm sure most of them can read dialogue more fluidly than Alex Pettyfer does." HA

The very first review I saw for this show was titled, Netflix’s The I-Land May Be the Worst TV Show I’ve Ever Seen. LOL. So, my rule of reading reviews of all Netflix originals before watching served me well.

The review pretty much spoils the entire thing and now I low-key wish I'd watched it bc holy fuck does it sound completely insane.

alex pettyfer? fucking lmao
