MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (1995), 22 episodes, based on the classic novel by Jules Verne. This series features a capable cast--the *lovely* Collette Stevenson in particular--and some beautiful scenery (the show was filmed in New Zealand). The DVD released by Echo Bridge has quite a few digital artifacts & pixelation--in other words, a typical Echo Bridge DVD. This series was "okay"--not super-great, but neither is it super-bad. There are several other "castaway" drama series (all of which were produced after MYSTERIOUS ISLAND)--"Peter Benchley's AMAZON", "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's THE LOST WORLD" and (of course) "LOST"--all of these shows are available on DVD and are heads-and-shoulders above MYSTERIOUS ISLAND in every way imaginable. MYSTERIOUS ISLAND is a slightly-above average series, enjoyable for the most part but (perhaps) not "essential" viewing. MYSTERIOUS ISLAND--Starring Alan Scarfe, C. David Johnson, Colette Stevenson, Stephen Lovatt, Gordon Michael Woolvett, Andy Marshall and John Bach as "Captain Nemo".
