Story: It's about a group of people who are stranded on a desert island after a plane crash. The character learn about the island and each other as we do. They're an interesting bunch, and include an enigmatic survival expert, a strange brother and sister, a veteran of the gulf war (from the 'other' side) and a variety of others. The island has its own mysteries, from polar bears to strange signals.
The structure: each episode tells a story both on the island and in flashback. In each episode, we learn more and more about a specific castaway.
It's well written, and has just enough fantastic elements to make it very, very interesting.
