Harper's island is a murder mystery show where a group of people go a secluded island for a wedding- and for death. It turns into a struggle for survival, where every episode someone is killed and every person is a suspect. At the end of the 13 episodes, all questions are answered and only a few… More survive.
First, read the review " Finale - Complete and utter garbage (spoilers) ". That pretty much sums it up. But the reviewer forgot one really crucial thing, IMO. The sheriff had to know who Henry was. They showed a scene where Abby and Henry were playing together as kids and Abby's mom gives… More the other mom that look. At least, it indicated she knew Henry was her son. And she knew Wakefield was the dad. She gave up the kid. For crying out loud, wouldn't Abby's dad know too?!? Come on...totally unbelievable that he never mentioned that in the entire series. Or that he didn't suspect Henry was involved in the killings?! Just an idiotic ending with little closure. Senseless... Why did the writers come up with 12 great episodes and then cop out with an absolutely retarded ending?
I was re reading the deaths on one of the HI sites and I noticed that john had the more brutal killing and all Henry did was stab people, what John did was hang people, burn them, snap their neck, like what he did to Cal was very Brutal I must say, that death made me cry, not only because I liked… More Cal, but Cloe stood there watching, so yeah it had to be pretty painful to watch
Has anyone heard anything about the DVD release in Australia? I know its been released in Region 1, but Australia is Region 4...
The idea of a horror TV show seemed like a terrible idea and I didn't have high hopes for this show, but boy was I wrong. I watched all 13 episodes within a day, and I was hooked after one episode. The whole legend of Wakefield and is he or isn't he alive was great. The deaths of each person were better than I expected from a TV show. The terror was great and have me gripped to my seat with each episode. The ending was so sweet, with Abby and Jimmy going off into the sunset. Overall this was a great series and one which I would recommend to anyone to watch.
A Perfect, bite sized show. :-) hide show
Absolutely loved it! It was perfect. It was a new and fresh idea. It answered all the questions, and had a wonderful, shocking ending!! From the first episode it sucks you in. Its like a horror-soap opera that you can't get enough of. The casting was great, the writing was perfect, the filming and effects were brilliant! It was brilliant for them to air it during the summer when most shows are running re-runs. It has a delicate balance of romance, love, horror, mystery, adventure, gore, and comedy. And the comic relief was perfect. The location was both beautiful and creepy. And I absolutely loved Madison, the flower girl!!!!

Best TV series in a long time hide show
In my opinion Harper's Island was incredibly good. I have to admit I wasn't mad on it at the start but by the end of the 2nd episode I was hooked. It's not everyone's cup of tea, with at least 1 violent murder every episode, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was gripping, fast-paced, interesting, dramatic, mysterious, had some great acting by some young stars, and despite the gory murders, cal & chloe's and henry's death (especially jimmy and abby on the boat home and the wedding interview bit) made me actually cry. An excellent series, and a perfect 10.
Could have been better... hide show
When I started whatching this tv show I thought it was not so bad after all. The first episodes are interesting and misterious and you want to discover more about all these murders. The expectations are kept high. And in my opinion it was the only good thing to do because for the rest, the show is not great: characters are pretty much all flat and without personality, the stories are meaningless and sometimes even silly, and when you finally discover who the killer is, episode by episode you just lose interest and you even start wondering why you are watching the show. The final episodes have been painfull to watch and the conclusion of the story is completely out of reality. I have to admit though that during the episodes it was hard to understand who the killer was: that has probably been the only great part of the show.
