I watched it one time. It was the episode where the group was at first more interested in creature comforts rather than security, as they had just been robbed of food by the bad guys. It seems there is so many of these "survivor" types of shows lately that it's hard to take any of them seriously. I thought the show was OK - I enjoyed the attempts at innovation concerning the building of weapons, and I thought it rather funny, yet reasonable, that the person picked to head up security was a fellow that had served 6 years behind bars. I guess everyone believed that if he understood the principals of how to keep someone in, he'd just intuitively know how to keep someone out. ;) I'd probably watch it again, but I sure can't say that it's a favorite.

Been DVR'ing it. Watched the first episode tonight. Looks kinda interesting. We'll watch more and see if it remains interesting. Definitely didn't like the way they just allowed the second group to just waltz right in their compound though. Just stupid! I suspect the same will happen when some bad guys show up too.
