Let me preface this by stating that I've never seen either of the two films, so my review is purely based on the series itself. I just watched Series 1 and 2 back-to-back and let me just say that I am utterly impressed. Series 1 starts off very strong with a character driven story that kind of loses its narrative and can get kind of goofy around the 3rd quarter (Ep 5/6). That being said, Series 1 is still an extremely well-made show that I think suffered from a bigger narrative squeezed into only six episodes.
NOW Series 2 comes back with a VENGEANCE!!
I mean talk about a platinum sophomore outing. I would liken it to T2 in terms of finding all the things that worked and capitalizing on them. This one also digs so much deeper into questions of human nature and natural instinct than just a gritty "stuck in the wilderness" drama.
Both Series are great, but Series 2 is the reason why this show deserves a bigger audience.
GIVE IT A WATCH!!
Series 1 - 6.4/10
Series 2 - 8.7/10
