    As a fan of the original Fantasy Island, I find this series to be as interesting and fanciful as the first. The imagination of the writers is limitless in where they can explore this modernized version. The female leads in their respective roles show empathy and emotion unlike those of the original cast. I thoroughly enjoyed season 1 and hope to see many more seasons in the future!

    A superb first season of FANTASY ISL∀ND, really hope to see many more seasons. The series is fueled by the outstanding performances from Roselyn Sánchez and Kiara Barnes, the gorgeous scenery, the spectacular concept, and staying faithful to the original series while still being able to modernize it and stand on it's own. Also the costumes are excellent and the guest performances fromA superb first season of FANTASY ISL∀ND, really hope to see many more seasons.

    The show feels forced and the main characters on the island are a bit weak.

    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.

    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.

    It stuck close to the original formula, with some updates. And that makes for a much more entertaining show.
