This is sci-fi without a vision, a genre piece that doesn’t know how its own genre works. The I-Land is begging to be forgotten.
I guess mystery box isn't an apt description for this indisputable disaster, as mysteries come with some intrigue to see them solved and boxes are actually useful.

Probably the worse Netflix series yet. All they do is fight with each other. It is like it never ends. I only was able to watch 2 episodes before I got annoyed with it. And I could not even finish the second episode. Yes it is that bad. I was really expecting it to be closer to what people would really do if stranded on a island. But it was far from it.

Netflix's The I-Land is awful, but it's the kind of awful that leaves me with questions at every turn. No aspect of The I-Land works, and every bad aspect builds on the bad aspects before in a way that makes it pretty clear that nobody involved could have been under any misapprehensions about the quality of the endeavor. ... It's one of the worst shows I've ever seen.
It is 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.” It’s only enjoyable at all in that transcendent way that truly horrible things can be enjoyable. ... “The I-Land” quickly gets much grosser. ... It goes from a morbid, poorly-written curiosity to something much worse and downright offensive, losing even the B-show sheen it has at the start.
Brilliant format, the limited series. but, sadly, it's almost the only thing we can actually associate with the term brilliant, in this very disappointing tv product. the initial part of the plot, the first two episodes, were really interesting and well shaped. until the other side of reality crashes on the poor viewer and literally destroys almost everything. cmon, the texas warden, the outdated futuristic prison, the nurse, the guards, the scientists. a gigantic pile of bs. pls, don't get me wrong. the initial idea was pretty good, even if islands tend to recall always Lost, it was a nicely couple of hours of fresh and nice tv. then, after that, a hugely disappointing new scenario appears and start confusing, evidently, firstly the writers, then the actors, then us. it was a real uncalled turn throwing everyone work in to the oblivion. and more you go further, more appears unreal, in a really disturbing mode. something that brings several awful flashbacks to my recent memories, a mixed fault trying to pick ideas from the OA, Lost and a bunch of very successful tv series, and to me that was really, really disgusting. and immensely sad. a waist of time and space. in this black hole of material, chewed and horrifying spit, shines the performance of the main actress, Natalie Martinez, whom is the only professional and pleasant figure in all this, a part from the beauty of the island itself.
