The Island

"Sloborn" tries to keep too many balls in the air and ends up dropping them all.

There is simply too many plots and sub plots in this series. It starts to show by the time you are about half way through, as the plots intersect and become more scrambled as the story moves towards its odd ball conclusion.

It does have some merit up to the fourth episode and the acting is decent. I found a number of the characterisations a bit too peculiar and some, deeply unlikable. The abusive cop/father and the druggie author, stand out in this regard.

Not bad but could have been better if the story had been kept simpler and the characters made a little more relatable.

5/10 from me.
