The cave guy spends all of episode 1 saving his belongings from flood, then spends the first five minutes of episode 2 denouncing materialism. OK. But....you just spent the entire last episode saving all your belongings you have scattered around the caves.
The boat guy, who says right off that there's a community on the island and "if they don't like you, they won't let you stay" (THAT'S telling, isn't it? It's not a big mental jump to figure out who they will and won't like) gets stranded on an uninhabited island.....and he has to radio (wait for it) OTHER PEOPLE for help.
Tree house guy is a joke. I disagree with the person who called his wife "obese" but yeah, it's pretty obvious these people aren't living a survivalist diet. He tells us they've done as many as 2 weeks without touching the ground. OK? But.....why? Does "off the grid" now also include a 24/7 game of "the floor is lava"? Then he gets mad that someone else has a tree house half a mile from his. I want to know.....is this his land? Whose land is it? State land? Hate to tell you this but it's not trespassing unless it's YOUR LAND.
And the drama. Oh, the drama. We have dramatic fade ins from scene, dramatic music, gravelly voiced narrator. And people contradicting themselves at every turn (I don't need a house....oh crap all my belongings are wet because I keep them in a cave.....also belongings are bad....and I live an independent lifestyle I don't need people.....just as soon as I'm finished radioing for help that is)
Barftastic.
