A-
But as it turns out, the "alone" part of Alone is a bigger deal than it initially seems. And it's not the lack of a partner that messes with the competitors' game; it's the lack of a camera crew. Go to Full Review

I appreciate a quiet, reflective, deliberate show, and might almost prefer it to one that creates too much frenetic energy in its editing, but I found myself occasionally losing focus. Go to Full Review

3/5
It's your basic survival competition, but what sets Alone apart is its focus is on the contestants' candid commentary about how they feel as they try to make it through each day alone. Go to Full Review

Lisa R. @Lisa.Jamie4222 Mar 15 My husband is from Georgia, and he was rooting, for our Georgia boy all the way!! See more Chris E @RT08842448 May 14 Why do they get all the way out to Vancouver Island and tap out on the first day. Even the boy scouts can do better. The one dude has15 years in the army. But he forgot the army provides their food. Idiots See more Tristan C @RT75770054 04/02/2024 The best and most realistic survival show out there (within the limits of safety, of course). I've watched all seasons and each have something different to offer. Definitely worth a watch. See more steve c @RT19610513 02/26/2022 This series makes the long running "Survivor" TV series look like joke. Were those people ever in danger from predatory animals? Have they ever been thirsty/hungry for days? Were they ever allowed to inadvertently ingest something that would make them hallucinate? To top it off, not only did they have to survive, they had to be their own camera crew as well! In the "Alone" TV series, people won't vote anyone off (Vancouver) island, nature and their own minds will! See more 12/13/2021 Really enjoyed season 1. There are obvious kinks that they worked out in later seasons. The show picked up and was amazing once in got down to the last 4. Alan and Sam were great to watch. See more 02/18/2021 A really interesting experiment, but what it comes down to is... "No Food, No Life." rather than a test to find out what happens when they are truly alone. It was engaging from the very start, watching participants with unique personalities cope with tough situations differently. It felt like a raw and accentuated version of what happens in our everyday life. I enjoyed the authenticity. How they included the emotional outbursts to the slow moments where nothing happens. If I were to improve one thing, I would send the contestants off to places in warmer climates where there will be food abundant most of the time. Every season of the show seems to come down to how much they can tolerate hunger or how much fat they have on their bodies to begin with. It would simply be less predictable and a true test to their skills / personhood, instead of how much they can starve... I would want to see them leave for other reasons than hunger, given that they are all hunting / fishing experts. But overall I want to thank the show for making me be thankful for always having a roof on top of my head, for not having to be afraid of being eaten alive in my sleep and for my boyfriend' s cooking that is probably better than eating limpets everyday. 😂 See more Read all reviews
