Critics Consensus

Bafflingly bad, the only mystery is how The I-Land got made in the first place.

John Doyle Globe and Mail 09/25/2019
It's insanely structured and at times off-putting. But maybe it's not a near-disaster and it's actually an off-the-wall experiment that doesn't quite click. Go to Full Review
Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 09/17/2019
It's one of the worst shows I've ever seen and, in that, one of the most fascinating. Go to Full Review
Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 09/16/2019
A bafflingly horrible sci-fi show, the kind of project that leaves your jaw on the floor, not unlike the first time you saw Tommy Wiseau's The Room. Go to Full Review

B-
The series is like a lot of other shows you've seen before, but that doesn't mean it's absolutely horrible. Go to Full Review
Joseph Dominguez Film Inquiry 09/21/2019
The series bravely explores concepts and genres which are at least interesting, but once the interest leaves we're given a melodramatic series that does little to offer excitement from the streaming giant. Go to Full Review

Sarah S Feb 13 Frustrating and plot holey at times, but never boring. I actually found this quite gripping. Just wish the writing had been a bit better, as it was hard to buy into any of the characters beyond Chase & KC. See more Ken D @mynameisken Jan 11 I loved it. Horrible acting and even worse script but still very enjoyable. See more Diana S Nov 6 The dialogues seem like they were written in a hurry by a pre-teen. See more Brandon S @Snuffy1978 Oct 9 I am not sure what all the hate it about here. I am not a huge sci-fi fan, but this show was actually ok. I enjoyed how the story unfolded and how and how it kept you wanting to watch more. They could have really gone in a couple of different directions, but with only seven episodes, it would be really hard to unpack more. See more Asingura L Jul 7 Just finished watching The I-Land, and honestly… it was okay. The concept had potential strangers waking up on a mysterious island with no memory but it didn’t fully land for me. The pacing was a bit slow, and it felt like something was missing. I think it could’ve been more engaging with a larger cast and a clearer end goal to drive the story forward. Some moments were interesting, but overall, it lacked the tension and depth I was hoping for. Worth a try if you’re into psychological survival themes, but don’t expect too much. See more Lindsey G @linz0924 Jun 5 This show had some bad reviews but I actually enjoyed it. I binge watched it in one weekend. Some compared it to Lost. Lost was on for a very long time and that gave them the opportunity for lots of character and plot development. Unfortunately, this show was a limited series. I think they had a lot of ideas but not enough time to solidly develop them. I think if their ideas were spread over a few seasons to have more depth, it would've gotten higher ratings.
