My husband and I watched both seasons and had so much fun with it. We have always enjoyed Dean Devlin's programs and have enjoyed Christian Kane in everything he's done. The writng was very clever with great lines and great delivery. A couple of times we wondered if some of the aside lines were actually ad-libbed. The action was always good and the actors did a great job and the scenery was fantastic. Each episode was unique and very enjoyable. The fact that they filmed both seasons entirely in the Philippines with a lot of locals who were also very good was fantastic. We can only hope that the program returns.

The finale had it all - well, nearly all.

A load of old actors come back to say goodbye. It's not just the beach party for Kai's farewell/return but for theed show as a whole (20 episodes has proven to be mors than quite enough!).

We see lechon, that dancing between poles you only see at Filipino barrio fiestas in foreign countries, there is lechon and that generic beer they have used for 19 episodes seems to be replaced by the famous Filipino Red Horse Beer brand.

What is missing is the local language or at least the main Filipino language of Tagalog.

There are tables on the beach but no shade for the visitors. Filipinos hate the sun!

It was a light-hearted conclusion to a show that has seen much better days.

I know Filipino tv is awful and this has been better than that but doesn't deserve the ratings others have given.
