This episode is USELESS!!

They took 25 minutes to till us that its a simulation while all the audience understood that the last episode. Last 10 minutes was super dark i saw nothing and the acting is very poor. The only good thing about this episode was the police chief i liked his accent and his acting but tbh everything else in this episode was unnecessary and it could easily been a 5 minutes attached to the last episode thats it.

Action Action

There's lots of fights in this episode. Almost a Martial Arts film. Chase is a tough woman, well trained.

The story now turns away from pure tropical landscape and bare handed survival, into the real world stuff behind the illusion.

Or is it only an illusion? No other real world?

Kind of a Zen question. "Anyhoo ... Y'all gonna find out what you did, and then ... maybe have a chance to survive. But I guess not." (not a real quote from the film)

Action is good, and the events on I-Land are bound to become much more interesting after this "rearrangement".

Can't wait to get back to meet the rest of the group.

7/10

THE INSUBSTANTIAL PLOT

Anyhoo... you've made it to Ep3 & Chase wakes up in a prison/lab. The Warden tells her the island is a simulation & it's all a test, but despite being a simulation people can get hurt (so does that mean Donovan's shark injuries are real?), & die in there.

A bunch of 4 Doctors question Chase about her time in the simulation. Chase tells them she "doesn't get it" (a bit like this viewer), whilst the Warden tells her the whole thing is about rehabilitation & is government funded. He also tells her Brody is dead both in real life & the sim. Chase is sent back into the simulation, but not before she makes an attempt to escape the institution. One of the Doctors gives her more information to help her before Chase is sent back into the i-land but not before seeing her fellow islanders in vat chambers in a basement lab.

Long story short - we seem to be in Lost/Matrix/Maze Runner/(even) Coma type territory.

really bad

This episode is sometimes hilarious. The character of the warden is a joke, with his cowboy hat. Why would warden explain everything to her. Not just put her back in after waking up. She wakes up but doesn't remember her life? They leave her in a room with all kind of objects that can be used as weapon?

It all totally unbelievable.

I always wonder about reviewers who watch every episode, but,rate them a 3....if you think it's that bad...stop watching it...duh ? I'm enjoying the series,its entertaining and the acting is above average. It keeps you guessing, give it a chance,ignore the naysayers.
