Watch the Pilot of NBC's Pseudo-reality Drama Siberia Right Now (VIDEO)
Maybe you're getting your summer sci-fi mystery fix from CBS's Under the Dome, or maybe you're like me and you want even more. Leave it to good old NBC to stay on top of the current trend, which the network is doing with the summer series Siberia, a fictionalized reality show that might feature monsters, murder, and mayhem. As the series begins, 16 contestants head north to an old meteor crash site where strange things start to happen.
To get word out that Siberia is coming—next Monday, in fact!—NBC has decided to post the first episode online and hope that social media does will take care of the rest. I've embedded the pilot below, so take a look and let us know what you think. What else are you going to do for the next 50 minutes anyway? Read about five-year-old fashion icons?
Lest you forget when Siberia airs, here's an easy way to remember: For some absent-minded reason, NBC has scheduled Siberia, a sci-fi mystery limited-run summer series, on Monday nights at 10pm—directly opposite Under the Dome, a sci-fi mystery (possibly) limited-run summer series (that, as of last night, has a one-episode head start).
Siberia premieres Monday, July 1 at 10pm.

Will give it a couple more episodes and then decide,if I will watch it or not. Hell,it might get canceled soon anyway,the way pilots and new shows go these days.
Both shows aren't great but I'm more curious about what the future has in store for Siberia, it's opponent was rather less interesting, characters felt quite one-dimensional, however I advise ppl to watch both shows because they could be interesting in the long run :)
Also, the reality-style filming worked well in the beginning, but I wonder if they will switch to "normal" cameras (without the implication that the reality crew is there). It doesn't make logical sense that a reality show would air footage of people dying on their show, so they might as well drop the act....although they could be going for a "found footage" explanation, I guess, which would allow them to be consistent and continue with their psuedo-reality.
Especially at the end, for me, it felt too much fake, like a normal reality show.
I can't see it above because I'm not from the US...
I'm not saying all Summer shows are junk... far from it. But there are better shows to schedule against even IF you think yours is the superior show.
I mean, unless you have money to burn and just want to screw over the other guy...
