The Stranded: Full Season 1

November 16, 2019 8:02 PM - Season 1 (Full Season)

When a tsunami strands dozens of teens on an island at their private school, they soon realize no rescuers are coming and they must save themselves. (Netflix, Thai production)

The Review Geek: "At first glance The Stranded feels very much like the Thai addition of Lost. In many ways its opening few episodes do present themselves this way, with a big mystery and several different characters taking centre stage as the season progresses. Unfortunately, in a bid to try and differentiate itself from the cultural phenomenon, The Stranded falls so far down the rabbit hole, it pulls influences from Dark, The Society, The Rain and a handful of other teen dramas for good measure. The result is a messy and sometimes tonally disparate series that doesn’t quite know what it wants to be until the final few shots of this first season."

Well, that's 7 hours of my life I'm not getting back, alas. There were some beautiful visuals, and a good cast, but, there's no payoff for any of the mysteriousness, and unless they make another season no resolution to the plot. Enter at your own risk.

I'm only up to episode four, but I liked the weirdness of the plot up to that point. The complete nuttiness of everyone and clearly telegraphed weirdness is fun.
