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 Marty Brown Common Sense Media 09/26/2019

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 Read all reviews

Sarah S @RT55319345 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 @RT16778590 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 @RT60598374 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.
