Review of Alone

Alone (2015– )
6/10
OK if you wanna watch people crying on a beach whining about missing their family.

It's a decent show. I respect the competitors, but it can be so tedious. I think far too much is dedicated to people sitting and whining about their family and home. It would be okay if it were used to punctuate certain moments, but filling each episode with 20+ minutes of it is tiresome.

And it's not as if there aren't more interesting things to talk about. Often you don't even get a real good look at the homes people build. If the camera work isn't great then you can animate a 3d model and highlight the features that make it good for survival, etc. Same thing with everything they make and do, and it could be narrated and interesting.

Whether you like that idea or not, i'm sure you can agree that we don't need 20 minutes of missing wife and kids each episode. I understand that emotions are part of survival, but as i said.. you can use these cuts for emphasis occasionally. Because otherwise it gets old, fast.
