I was really looking forward to it, then we watched the first episode and both thought "eurgh". First episodes are sometimes rough, since they have to establish characters and setting and so forth, so we gave it another chance. Sat through about half the second episode, I think. Or else the whole second and half the third. That was it.
I don't mind complex plots and even surreal elements (e.g. invisible jungle monster). But they were trying to sell the survival part of the story as being realistic. That's what really ruined it for us -- realistic bits should be at least vaguely realistic.
