Season 1 Review:
The storylines are darker, sexier. They also arc across episodes — I recommend watching at least the first two to get the full flavor. Also, Episode 2 is stronger, with the loss of intimacy explored through both comic and poignant storylines. It’s a network show, so don’t expect The Leftovers. But Fantasy Island is back and it’s in good hands.

Season 1 Review:
There’s a certain first-pass quality to the writing here: Just a bit of polish would have benefited a show meant to evoke the best of everything. ... And yet “Fantasy Island” is nourished by occasional curiosity about what this franchise can do. Imaginative jags here can be rushed and easily resolved.

Season 1 Review:
The show’s creators haven’t quite figured out who they want this new Roarke to be — an opaque and all-knowing master of ceremonies or someone more accessible with her own stories to unfurl — which means the character is not quite defined enough to function as a much-needed anchor from one episode to the next.
