Phil Gallo Variety 07/23/2019
Barry Donlevy's cinematography is "Hope Island's" strongest asset; he captures the natural beauty of the setting though Brad Turner's direction, but the scripts haven't quite figured out how to use the island itself as a character. Go to Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel 07/23/2019
The writing is bad, but the acting is worse. The series contains amateurish performances by actors struggling to be charming and failing badly. Go to Full Review Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune 07/23/2019

The problem is that the show tries so hard to be charmingly quirky that it's just odd at times Go to Full Review Read all reviews
