Does anyone else here watch Harper's Island? It's a really good show! Basically, it's a murder mystery that involves a group of people going to a place called Harper's Island for a wedding, and one by one they get killed off.
It airs on CBS on Thursday's if anyone's interested!

I've been watching so far, and it is OK. The cast is just too large at this point, and most of them aren't too great of actors. The kills are pretty awesome though and the mystery is good enough to keep me watching.
I think it'll be really good once half the cast is out of the way.

I'm watching it, think it's incredibly stupid but it's good cheesy horror fun, and that's what I expected so I'm glad.

Yeah, I watched the first 2, and it is fun. It's not going to change my life, but not bad!

I was iffy until the ending episode 2 preview of the series which looked awesome! I really like Abby but it sucked when Kelly got murdered the only problem so far Abby doesn't seem to be the lead of the show.

I just watched the first six episodes last night on Hulu. I like it. Yes, the cast is very large but at least it gets shorter every episode. Since the series was canceled, will CBS still show the rest of the episodes? In my opinion, I think all the actors and actresses can act just find, save for that little girl. Katie Cassidy is hot! Too my surprise, its actually a little bit gory, way cool. Does anyone else think that that Abby chick is related to Natalie from Monk? lol. So far, the characters that I hate most are Sully, Madison, Uncle Marty, and Malcolm (I keep getting him confused with Hurley from Lost).

Since the series was canceled, will CBS still show the rest of the episodes? CBS is still airing it Saturdays at 9. I really liked the last episode. I have been enjoying the show just for it's stupid cheesy-horror aspect, but the last episode was actually good television.

I hope Ari Schlossberg or whoever was in charge of the Harper's Island series comes up with another series just like this. Same horror/mystery/thriller theme but different plot and whatnot. Wouldn't that be awesome? Each season could be a different mystery or whatever. By the way, do you guys think Katie Cassidy is hotter as a blond or brunette? I can't make my mind up.

I think that was CBS's intention if Harper's Island was a success, to have more mini-series, but since it flopped... It would be cool if it still happened though, seems like it'd fit much better on a cable network, like Sci-Fi. And I personally prefer her as a brunette.

I just stared watching this online, mainly for Katie and Jim Beaver. And it's not too bad the actors are pretty good no one really stands out as bad although it's a little predictable (imo) but you get that. Also katie blonde ftw, but she's gorgeous both ways.

I just got done watching the seventh episode. The groomsmen finally found out about what happened to Booth. I'm glad, they needed closure. So Trish is thinking about breaking it off with Henry, I saw that coming. How did a guy like Henry ever end up with someone like Trish? That would never happen in my school. Never. It was nice finally seeing what happened seven years ago. What I want to know is how John Wakefield tied his victims to the tree. I mean seriously, that must have taken a while, a long while. Did anyone else think that Jimmy would jump off the dock and swim after Abby? I never liked Malcolm but then again, I never liked Chris Gauthier as an actor. I can't wait for next weeks episode. Poor Madison...sike! That is one creepy kid.

I havent watched it at all, I was interested but wasnt sure what it was about. Thanks for letting me know, I will deff look into it and start to try and watch it. I always saw it on TV and it always looked so interesting, but I dont like starting shows randomly and mid-way through. Is this the first season? If not how many are there? -Joyce

This will be the only season. Harper’s Island was cancelled. Unless another channel picks it up, which I highly doubt will happen. So far, we're into the seventh episode. Its really good. Not Buffy good, but you know.

Anyone else watch the eighth episode? At least we know now that Sheriff Mills isn’t the culprit. What the French toast? Did Henry kill JD? I first thought that it was a shotgun blast but everyone would have heard it. Bwahaha, little miss creeper is still being held hostage. Dude, that Cole dude was insane. He set all those dangerous traps. Well, not all of them as the killer obviously set the trap for Lucy, or did he? I’m starting to think that this turn out like Clue and most of the cast had a part in at least one murder. You know?

I watch it. It's OK. Not really great, but you know. I want to know who the killer is. I think it's probably Henry because he's creepy.

Ill be honest. If this had been a regular show, I would have dropped it awhile back. But since its a limited 13ep series, I've kept watching. I'm kinda bored but want to know who the killer is and whats going on. Some of the kills have been pretty cool and brutal. How the killer set one of Trish's friends on fire. Madison's dad was an awesome kill. Last week with the trophy Stepmom, didn't see that coming.
My bets are on Henry or Jimmy. DrGreenEvil

Splash was one of my favorite episodes so far! Chloe's demise was perfect. "You can't have me!" Oh snaps! Jimmy is another murderer? *gasps* Was anyone pleased with Shane's death? I hated that guy!

Tonight's episode rocked. Easily the best so far. Wakefield sure went ball's to the wall in this episode (5 kills!). The actor that plays him is wonderful and is so creepy in this role. I was really sad about Chloe and Cal's deaths, but what a great scene that was! They were my favorite characters, along with Sully. I have a feeling that Jimmy is another red herring and Wakefield's kid will turn out to be Sully or even Henry, but we'll see.
It took a few episodes, but this has turned out to be quite the enjoyable show. It's too bad there are only 2 episodes left.

I couldn't quite put my finger on who played John Wakefield until now. I knew his face was familiar some how. He played that Cylon, Leoben Conoy on Battlestar Galactica! The song played at the end of this episode was 'Letters From The Sky' by Civil Twilight.
