I spent few evenings watching CBS horror thriller/mystery show called HAPRER'S ISLAND having been encouraged by some good reviews praising show's climate and screenwriting. The show is definitely difficult to follow during the first few episodes as the tempo and action was rather slow. It got better with 4th or 5th episode when the characters were subjected to some really creepy and violent acts of terror. There were some truly breathtaking twists of action and the writing got better and better with every single episode. Again with the 10th episode or so the show both action- and writing-wise went downward and several times I was almost intimidated by the stupidity of some of the scenes included. All in all I wouldn't consider watching 13 episodes a waste of time as I was really looking forward to seeing who the murderer was and as it turned out the show ended up on a happy note but the amount of corpses left on the island is beyond belief. So go ahead, buy the officially released DVD or watch it here and you probably won't regret it.
