Normally, I'm not really interested in shows about survival, mystery and large-scale reveals. But this show is not just any show. I wasn't watching the beginning but then I had to go back and re-watch it.

The acting, the writing, the pace - everything is perfect. As a cold-hearted bitch, it is a rarity for me to get so emotionally involved and shed tears but I did. Every character is fucked-up but also at least somewhat relatable. The 'villains' are also rather fresh and human. The overall concept isn't really new but frankly, a good show is never about the novelty, but conveying an idea. If it's good, it's good.

Way too often a show gives you a decent setting but keeps disappointing with cheap plot twists and character reveals. But not this time. It's so satisfying to watch every episode take you somewhere new you did not expect to go and its about character development as much as it is about the plot. Probably more. Every episode blows your fucking mind. The timeline is fragmented, with different periods and different POVs, and while usually most shows don't bother to make sure things add up in the end and clearly expect you to forget everything you saw before the current episode, here everything comes together like a puzzle.

Another thing I love is the lack of violence. There are plenty of hard topics, suspense and tragedy but nothing graphic, the good writing and directing takes you there emotionally. Also it's probably the first time you see the castaways sunburnt, dirty and with dirty hair. Legs are still hella smooth but it's a progress. Also, the OST is awesome.

The season finale is cruel with its triple cliffhanger. I can't fucking wait for Season 2.
