I've decided to contribute here merely to counter those who have written bad reviews based on the first episode or two.
This is one of those shows that will only make sense as the episodes go by, I assure you all the illogical things that ticked you off in the beginning will start to make sense after a while. Yes, even Oliver's penchant for technology and electronics, as one reviewer pointed out he couldn't have possibly gathered such an elaborate system in the club's secret room after five years away from civilization...or so we thought.
This show relies on flashbacks, the editing is smart and smooth, especially when the same theme is tackled in each episode comparing Island Oliver with Present-Day Oliver.
So, to all new viewers, stop being so impatient. This series relies both on action and psychology, it has a lot of character development, so yes, if you're here only to see bad people getting their butt kicked, you will be disappointed.
The acting is a bit off at times, true, but the actors are extremely charismatic, and clearly comfortable in their respective roles.
Looking forward to Season 2.
