Season 1, Episode 7
2/10
IT'S ALL BACKWARDS
19 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
So Chase gets pulled from the sim exonerated after her near death experience in the last ep.

We learn the Warden tried to sabotage the i-land experiment & sent in two rogue Marshall's (Bonnie & Clyde).

The confusing bit was why Chase was in there "voluntarily" despite thinking she was on Death Row along with other "irredeemable" prisoners like Brody , Donovan (psychotic murderer), Mason (not a soldier but shot up a Mall), Blair (the angel of death nurse), Moses (manslaughter?) & the others like KC, Taylor (alive & living with a cannibal), & the rest of the group who, to me, may have had cases which could've been deemed less cut & dried.

The two agents, Bonnie & Clyde refuse to pin the blame on The Warden. The Warden then arranges for Chase to have a lethal injection & is saved in the nick of time by Dr Wyss.

Chase then finds out that she was actually an avatar on the i-land & that she's actually older than she appeared on it. She's released back into a world she doesn't recoginise, a futuristic world changed by rising tidal waters,

The final shot sees the Warden in a familiar setting.

Long story short - average fare that is probably ok if you're stuck at home & can't get out. For the most, & especially early on, the viewer will likely find all the main characters highly unlikeable (sadly that includes the main protagonist). There were a few moments that struck a chord (the 1% of society who operate financially & socially in a different world to the rest of us; how climate change may affect our future which will likely be caused by the continuous accumulation of wealth at the cost of the planets resources; how the elite influence society at large including through technology; how we perceive what the truth is). Go out & enjoy life now.
