Catching Up on Harper’s Island (Again)
June 27th, 2009
With every new episode I find myself more and more engrossed in Harper’s Island. It hasn’t gotten any better and I long ago gave up trying to keep track of who could be the killer and who, by virtue of having an alibi, can’t possibly be responsible for all these grizzly murders. There are only three new episodes left (the eleventh episode, “Splash,” airs tonight at 9PM Eastern on CBS) and only perhaps a half-dozen characters still among the living. Maybe eight at most. I’ve lost track.
Here’s a scene from last week’s episode. It’s a bit of a shocker at the end and will spoil the episode if you haven’t seen it.
Did you catch that? There’s. Someone. On. The. Roof. It’s almost as cliche as the phone call coming from inside the house.

Catching Up on Harper’s Island
May 11th, 2009
I’ve been excited about Harper’s Island since the moment I first heard about it. A murder mystery set on an island with a disturbing past? Sounds brilliant. After watching the latest episodes at CBS.com I’m now up to date and can say with some authority that Harper’s Island isn’t brilliant. I can’t stress that enough. The plot has holes large enough for a ditzy blonde to fall into and be lit on fire.
Still, the show is surprisingly entertaining if watching ditzy blondes fall into holes and be lit on fire is your kind of thing. Here’s a trailer courtesy of CBS.com:

Harper’s Island Premieres Tonight
April 9th, 2009
Harper’s Island, a limited-run television series, premieres on CBS at 10:00PM ET tonight (check your local listings). The network describes the show as follows:
HARPER’S ISLAND is a 13-episode murder mystery about a group of family and friends who travel to a secluded island for a destination wedding. They’ve come to laugh… to love… and, though they don’t know it… to die. As the wedding festivities begin, friendships are tested and secrets exposed as a murderer claims victims, one by one, transforming the wedding week of fun and celebration into a terrifying struggle for survival. Henry, the boy next door, is marrying the woman of his dreams, Trish Wellington, a beautiful and wealthy heiress. But as the wedding week begins, people start dying. Every episode, someone is killed. Wedding guests and island locals, every person is a suspect. No one is safe. No one can be trusted. By the end of the 13 episodes, all questions will be answered, the killer will be revealed and only a few will survive.
The thirteenth and final episode is set to air on June 2nd, 2009. The official CBS website for Harper’s Island can be found here. Lower Decks won’t be reviewing the series but we will be trying something new: open discussions for each episode posted at 10:00PM ET every Thursday.
New Horror Series Harper’s Island
January 14th, 2009
A new trailer for upcoming CBS horror drama Harper’s Island is now available at The Live Feed. The series, which will run for thirteen weeks and thus bypass one of the problems of serialized dramas (viewers worrying that their favorite new show will be cancelled before it ends), premieres on Thursday, April 9th at 10:00PM. The show follows a group of friends and family who head out to Harper’s Island for a wedding only to find themselves at the mercy of a vicious killer. Each week one person will die. The killer will be revealed in the final episode.
According to this post at The Live Feed, although Harper’s Island will end after just thirteen episodes, the “concept” may continue:
If the show survives, future seasons will start fresh, with a new cast attending a different kind of gathering (such as a bachelor party, or high school reunion, says CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler).
In fact, the show will also change locations — which could make for a challenge when trying to retain some consistency with the show’s title. Turteltaub joked future rounds could take place on a rocket ship or on a safari.
Among the cast of Harper’s Island are Katie Cassidy (who played Ruby on Supernatural), Gina Holden (she was Dale Arden on SCI FI Channel’s Flash Gordon series) and Christopher Gorham (the star of UPN’s short-lived Jake 2.0), plus Harry Hamlin, Adam Campbell and Elaine Cassidy.
