Fantasy Island (stylised FANTASY ISLⱯND) has just concluded it's patchy AF second run. Will it get a third? With the current TV climate, the writers strike? I think FOX will let this one go.
The second season started right after new years day this year, which FOX dragged the 13 episodes out to conclude today. John Gabriel Rodriquez as Javier had been promoted to a series regular this season, along with Alexa Mansour being cast in a recurring role.
Desperate Housewives sweethearts, Teri Hatcher and James Denton also had a reunion this season. Season one we got a Melrose Place reunion, this season it was Desperate Housewives turn.
In the season finale (potentially series finale) Beverly Hills, 90210‘s Jason Priestly plays a doctor who’s made a fortune selling vitamins, and broke hearts along the way. His three wives (including the current) star in a revenge on Fantasy Island finale.
The series started strong, however some of the episodes were plain woeful. Peaches and the Jilted Bride was a particularly bad episode.
Look this is a USA summer soap at best. In the older days series like Mistresses, BH90210, Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce or Midnight, Texas. These shows were smaller budget, easy to digest. They were like summer flings. Which is exactly what Fantasy Island is like. Week to week bite size looks into a short story, that is either heart warming or dull AF.
Also man did Jason Priestly look old or what!
My odds are this either returning for a third and final ten episode run or being another TV victim of the writers strike.
Wait for next week, finale madness. All American, two times 9-1-1, Fire Country also potentially to finish all things fire fighting, the Station 19 finale.
