I think this has been shown elsewhere. As s2 is being filmed

starts next Tuesday not tonight

But I haven’t seen it hence the thread

‘Fantasy Island’ takes place at a luxury resort, where literally any fantasy requested by guests is fulfilled, although they rarely turn out as expected…

Delving into the “what if” questions – both big and small – that keep us awake at night, each episode tells emotional, provocative stories about people who arrive with dreams and desires and depart enlightened and transformed through the magical realism of Fantasy Island.

Serving as steward of this mysterious island is Elena Roarke (Roselyn Sanchez, “Devious Maids,” “Grand Hotel”), a descendant of the iconic Mr. Roarke. Elena set aside her own ambitions, and even the love of her life, to uphold her family’s legacy.

Sophisticated, insightful and always charming, her calm exterior masks the challenges of the responsibilities she has assumed.

Assisting Elena is Ruby Okoro (Kiara Barnes, “The Bold and the Beautiful”), a young woman with an old soul who arrives on Fantasy Island with a terminal illness and is given a new lease on life there; and pilot Javier (John Gabriel Rodriquez, “Miranda’s Rights,” “Rosewood”), who also is the head of island transportation and a jack of all trades.

I'm really enjoying it

Mouldyfoodhelp · 30/04/2023 21:13

Rewatched the first episode as I saw it right before sleep before. Its a lot more cheesey the second time!

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/04/2023 22:32

Cheesy how

By stuffing her face full of food

Or the young couple

Just the way the lines were delivered.

More the old couple with a lot of dialogue

But an example is the woman eating at the end and she delivered a one liner which I can't remember exactly but it was about her getting over her dad's cruelty and it was like " you could say I [somethinged] it"

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/05/2023 23:44

E2 tonight. Haven't seen as talking to dh in iacgmooh which means I missed most of it so will rewatch Tom

I just watched episode 2 as I completely forgot about it. I liked it better than the first episode there was some comedy and heartwarming moments.

I love a good freaky Friday situation but I feel like the being a man thing was overblown, I see the pregnancy was meant to be the woman equivalent but I don't think it hit the same.

I thought the old man sleeping was heartfelt but I think the secondary storyline in the episodes don't have as much depth. Apart from the time Elana went to speak to him and he opens up it was quite quick or service level

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/05/2023 20:25

Yah @Mouldyfoodhelp

I really enjoyed 2

Thought was very clever

Haven't seen 3 yet

Just finished episode 3. To me it was the weakest of the 3 Eileen's storyline has been done similarly quite a few times and again didn't feel the science guys story was touched really at all.

Think we'll see Ruby being more homesick the longer the series goes on and that'll be the big end of season decision.

Mouldyfoodhelp · 10/05/2023 21:12

And realise on re-reading i meant surface*

Mouldyfoodhelp · 10/05/2023 21:14

2 was definitely the best I think if I watched 1 then 3 I'd be less likely to continue.

I would say we would both concede it's not essential viewing as in not something you tune in as soon as it airs

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/05/2023 19:27

@Mouldyfoodhelp alas you are right

I liked last weeks episode although it was the polar opposite of number 3 and again not really ground breaking.

What other TV are you enjoying currently?

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/05/2023 10:18

Ten pound poms

The marriage one was decent and showed the positives and negatives of two different cultural lifestyles. Felt like it was the cheese predictable ending again though but feel like at this point you just have to accept its gonna happen.

I liked seeing Rourk with the pilot.

Blondeshavemorefun · 09/06/2023 20:34

I'm behind as been away have 5&6&7 to watch

Think 8 is on next week

This was the last episode I saw. I'm
Not enjoying it. I don't like either of the 3 main characters. Is she a witch? Is the island magic?

Blondeshavemorefun · 12/06/2023 13:07

It's island magic 😂

Just finished the last 3-4 episodes and I enjoyed it, still not essential viewing but a nice programme to chill out to of a night time.

I think the finale episodes also benefitted from being a 2 parter

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/08/2023 22:17

I really enjoyed it and hope s2 will happen
