Well, I must say, I really enjoyed the first episode. The "reality show" concept is good, characters have very varied personality, and the acting is not bad at all. (Yes, it's a little bit bad, but I think it's supposed to look like the acting of real people in a reality show, so...)
The first episode gives you the will to know more, and makes you start to guess what influences are behind the scenario. Blair witch project? Cabin in the Woods? Something totally different?
Not the best TV show I ever seen, but it looks really enjoyable! And the five first minutes of the show are really really great.

I was really excited about these series after I watched the first episode. If people think it was real you should have been really dumb because after the first episode finished you should have been able to figure that out. The episodes that followed were above my expectations, they were actually pretty good.
I found it amusing and exciting. I ended up watching all episodes in 1 day to be confronted with harsh truth that it has a horrible ending. I am not sure if they want to make another season of this show but I hope they aren't going to do that.
There should just be an episode 12 where the pieces get put together. Know when to stop, because if they are trying to make the TV series longer they will completely destroy the series for me.
With a good episode 12 being there I would give the series a solid 7.5

Eleven episodes in and no one (including some supremely intelligent people writing posts about the show in the forum) has the SLIGHTEST IDEA what is going on.
I would say as a Cliffhanger/Keep 'em Watching type show, that Siberia is a 100% success.
With all the garbage that is on TV/Cable these days: Junkyard Wars, Pawn Battles, My Daughter is Pregnant and So am I, the dozens of cookie cutter competition shows, the ONE SHOW that requires one to think a bit is undeservedly falling of the ratings ladder.
Well, look at it this way: The original Star Trek was a bomb when it was presented. The Odd Couple (many times voted the greatest sitcom of all time) never made it into the top 20 (I think).
If Siberia is not renewed, I will be sad, and hopefully will be able to buy the DVD/Blu Ray sometime soon.
P.S. Hey, viewers of this page: write a review and kick up the "stars"

Let me begin by saying that this is by no means the best show ever. That being said, I must admit this show ended up impressing me much more than I had expected it to. This show started off somewhat dull, unoriginal, cheesy, and over the top with melodramatic acting. By episode 8, I've become completely entranced! The story is dynamic, well thought and planned out, creative, and emotional. Like I said before, it's not the best show ever, but it has become 10 times better then it started off! It's sad to say that this show is doing pretty badly as far as viewer ratings, so I'm not sure if it will get a season 2. But I hope it does! Or at least gets a satisfying season 1 ending.

It's sad to see that this great show is not getting the support that deserves, because (according to those posting on their official FB page).. 1) they were disappointed to find out it was a fake reality show (I guess they would have loved it if people died for real?) 2) the acting is bad (they do not understand they are actors, trying to be seen as regular people, with all the awkward action and speech?) 3) too many hard to believe situations, mistakes showing location, props.. (don't they understand is fantasy/drama?)
My point is NBC has created a show that was under some people's ability to grasp. A great drama/fantasy/horror show, that keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat. A great trip for those that love to escape reality, and are getting something "real", with no need of monsters, vampires or aliens. Just plain suspense.
There is a petition going, found on their FB page, to keep this show going, the possibilities are endless and up to their creative team of writers.
If you love to be kept scared and guessing, this is the show to watch. Pass the word, and I hope more viewers give it a chance.

If you love LOST then you will definitely like this, that is if you give it a chance. There a many similar things to LOST and this show, for starters it is in the middle of a forest, with a lot of mysterious stuff happening.
The first few moments I didn't like the idea of it being in a form of reality TV but it actually kinda grows on you.
It is also (until now) a very addictive series and I just wan't to watch more and more.
So I would definitely recommend you too watch this show or at least give it a chance.

To win this shows 'Siberia', the contestants have to survive in the nature, it means not to drop out nor forfeit, and then people get $500,000 divided to them. It's like 'Survivor'. But end of the Episode 1, one of the contestants was killed...
If you don't know it's drama, you would have mistaken it as Reality Show. But one thing that make this different from other reality shows is that contestants might die.
So, in others they just think about the way to win, it means to survive in the game. On the other hand, in this show they have to think about the way to survive in the game, and more, in real.
In threat of death and in front of TV camera, how are people going to move, and think?
I just wish it won't become predictable horror.

The show looks suspiciously just like the infamous "Lost". There's Locke (Sam), Sawyer (Johnny), That-good-looking-chick-forgot-her-name that appears to like Sawyer (Carolina), mysterious forest, "fire in the sky" instead of "black smoke", mysterious hatches that sometimes open, unwarranted "life-and-death" emergencies, and even a glimpse of "the others".
Which means that just like in Lost, there might be no real answers in the end, and the viewers are going to be duped by a "pyramid scheme" of mysteries piled on one another to keep people hooked. Watch it guys. I mean, don't watch it if you don't like to be disappointed.

I started watching Siberia because I was familiar with one of the cast members (Esther). The concept got me interested immediately. The first few episodes are very reminiscent of "Survivor" mixed with "Lost". It amazes me how so many people think that this is a "real" reality show but is "fake" because it's not filmed in Siberia. This is not a "reality show", this is a show that has part of it's plot set up as a reality show.
The episodes just keep getting better and better, I find myself very attached to the characters and I love the character development as the show progresses. The acting, in my opinion is great, shout outs to Sabina, Esther, Miljan and Johnny. You have to remember that they are playing normal, everyday people and it's meant to look like a "reality" show. Also, note that the actors are not given scripts, to make their interactions look genuine, real and natural, they are just informed about their character's personalities and of course, the plot.
Speaking of the plot, this is the final selling point for me. This has got to be the most interesting plot I've seen in a while. Nothing is predictable and I find myself on the edge of my seat every week.
If you want a great TV show that is entirely driven by it's plot and characters (which in my opinion, all TV shows should be driven by), and if you're at least a little open minded, you'll LOVE Siberia.

People have summed up this show fairly well and why I'm watching this summer "fill in" that will more than likely not be renewed is perplexing. If for no other reason, there's not much on and I don't like reality shows. So, what do I do, watch a badly dramatized reality show. After seven shows, there's been no real explanation of the hosts disappearance and what exactly is the layout of the land. For these city slickers, they are in for a rude of awakening when the cold hits. They better get some survival skills very quickly and try not so hard to be compared to Lost that in the end might have been a disappointment to many, however.. this many shows into Lost we had an idea of what the Island and character background was about. This show in a Canadian woodlands "Syberia" mystery is taking far too long to make sense of it's survival challenge.

After having seen four episodes of NBC's new reality/sci-fi/drama hybrid "Siberia" I can easily say this is one of the worst programs I have ever seen. But I can't stop watching. NBC has made a staple show for the newest emerging TV viewing audience. Those who like to "hate-watch" programs. NBC and other cable networks have long been reliable for producing some sort of televised tripe but now it's becoming an art form. The characters in these shows are over the top embellishments of the worst or most annoying traits in people, easy to roll eyes at while thinking "how stupid." Sometimes it's a reality show like "The Kardashians" or "The Apprentice." Full of any number of eccentric celebrities. Other times it's the new fad of gastro-shows(think,anything with Gordon Ramsey). But whether it's a new AMC drama or the next FOX comedy the number of shows available to hate-watch has become suspiciously high. "Siberia" is the first proof that the networks really are setting out to make things easy to ridicule. Crap special effects, even worse acting, unrealistic "Siberian" set which is really Canada, it has everything it needs to be the punch-line of a joke. If you enjoy hate-watching, yelling at poorly conceived characters who make ridiculous decisions, "Siberia" will surely draw your ire.

I started watching this show out of my own curiosity, and was INSTANTLY hooked! The actors and actresses on the show are really what keeps the industry and shows like this going! They do an amazing job, and the show is completely convincing. I would love to see how it turns out, and would be DEVASTATED if we couldn't finish the series. I recommend this show HIGHLY to anyone that loves a good cliff hanger, and really diverse characters! Each character has their own personality- some likable and some not- but each are convincing in their own right and are amazing at what they do. Some people have compared the show to LOST but I personally find this much better than that show in particular. However, if you did watch and enjoy LOST, definitely tune in to Siberia, it will be right up your alley!

I won't lie, I was increasingly disappointed with this series per episode, but only because along the way I realized it's not real lol I wondered each episode until I got to that episode with the green stuff in the sky. Then I was like, they got me lol Then it became dramatic but still so entertaining (to me) that I played along/stayed along. The final episode presented itself as a cliffhanger to a greater mystery/Season 2 which doesn't exist, but I think they didn't intend for a second series; they just needed to simulate a reality tv show. This might have been a filler series or something. Even looking back 10 years later, I still can't see where I missed that this was fake. It shows how fake, actually, real tv game shows are like Survivor/Big Brother.
(Now that I look back, I realize that they fell in the water and walked across a creek through the woods, and are bone dry in the next scene lol so yea, that's something I should've realized that this is fake lol)

I watched the show from day one and I have really enjoyed it. I have recently started to watch NBC after I got bored of CBS. Siberia sounded like a great show. It made you asking different questions and making you wanting to see the new episode right NOW! I really loved this show because it was different from most shows I have watched and I pray and beg NBC to bring it back. I really wish they don't cancel this show or I'm done with NBC because they have canceled to many of my favorite shows. The acting stinks and that's the only thing that separates me from thinking is it fake or real. The first episode was kinda sketchy but, later on the series has made me into a fan. I also just love the twists and plots very creative. Thank you for this show. Keep it on NBC.

It took several episodes; at least half way before I warmed to the characters and felt like I couldn't miss watching it to see what would happen to them.
Each episode contained elements that looked as though they had to mean something, but most of these turned out to be loose threads, which was very unsatisfying.
It's hard to believe that any viewer actually thought this was a genuine reality show, because the acting was so wooden from everyone until they began to relax after the series was more than half over - the final few episodes are definitely the best. Initially though all the actors were trying so hard to be 'noraml' and not to act in their attempt to seem like regular people that they over-played it, so the show came across as an obvious fake from the start.
However, this didn't spoil it for me, because the concept and the sense of impending peril combined with the continuous addition of unexpected elements, plus every character having hidden flaws that would occasionally be revealed made the show very compelling and interesting.
The fact that it ended so abruptly was terrible. I hate it when a series doesn't return for a new season - this one was surely worth the money - it's much better than Lost and many other similar shows.

This is by far the best show on t.v. right now. Under the dome is second, but this show is at least twice as entertaining and as this show is taking off into awesome new territory every episode , the dome is getting less and less interesting by the confining nature of a dome show.
Siberia is getting absolutely outstanding in the 7th and 8th episodes. I could tell watching the first episode that this show was going to take a while for anything to happen, and that is okay.
In Lost, their is the plane crash to start things off crazy, and the action really fizzles out for a while, till things shift dramatically later on.
In Siberia, you have to recognize the potential without being sucked in by any major event like a plane crash. However as the show unfolds, and with the cameras having an explanation for being there, this show has a very much more real feel to it.
The show feels much more real than an average show, granted that it like most shows is not to be taken as anything but a scripted drama. It feels more real than Lost, or really any show. That is the beauty of it.
Found footage type movies are sometimes done to where it really adds to the experience and this is basically why the show is INiTIALLY a reality show.
Just think instead of whatever unbelievable event brought the Lost members to the island that there is rather a realistic origin for why these people are stranded in a really cool looking place with cameras.
Most people I have mentioned the show to have quickly said its FAKE!!! Not knowing how ridiculous that is. It's like telling me The Walking Dead is Fake!!! or that Lost was fake. Of. Course it is fake... And that is why it is nothing like Survivor or any of those types of shows(which I believe are fake anyway).
That's why..
It is amazing in the same light as LOST and tonight (tiny spoiler) when some of the group members found a house and broke into it... It was every bit like The Walking Dead's finer moments, just as intense, but more believable or realistic by the nature of the show, although it is not to be mistaken for attempting to be real.
Don't tell me this is a 6 when nothing else on t.v. can even compare.
It is one the most entertaining shows I have ever seen.
Just don't be that fool who keeps saying this is FAKE!! Hahahaha cause that is hilarious, and I am adding you people to my comedy act.

I came to this series extremely late on, in fact twelve years after it originally aired. It was recommended as a found footage style show so I thought I'd give it a crack. Using the reality show format did give it that slight bit of originality. It was not with out its problems, I found the pace a little slow at times, and some repetitive tropes, something terrible is going to happen... oh no it isn't. Also, the characters were a little unbelievable at times, one minute at each others throats, then teaming up together, and seeming to forget previous sins. But the biggest frustration was the fact the series ended on a real cliffhanger, with so many thing left unexplained, and that was it. No second series. Definitely worth a watch, just don't expect any answers.

I know the TV season is pretty dry. Yes, I knew it was a fake reality show drama before I watched it on Hulu. Put a bunch of el-cheapo actors out in the middle of nowhere and do a drama about a reality TV show on them getting the spooky monster treatment - except I saw a movie with just that premise called "End of the Road" made in 2011 that was way better. I just expected them to do a better job of faking it.
I have seen other "real" shows with similar premises, including one that did drop people off in the middle of nowhere in Russia. For example, there was a British series called Lost where they dumped people off somewhere on Earth and they had to figure out where the heck they were and be the first to get back to Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square to win the prize. I've also seen several "dumped off in Africa and must learn to be a member of the local tribe" shows on the BBC. They came off so much less fake. They also had humor. There was something quite hysterically funny about a Hottentot in the Kalahari in the confession cam. There's no humor in Siberia.
SO many of the details came off ridiculously wrong. I will list a few.
#1 - If I am in Siberia I am going to be thinking first of bears. BIG grizzly bears. Half a ton in size. I'd have had that hatchet and anything else like a weapon with me just to have a chance. (No, weapons are politically incorrect) #2 - They were supposedly dumped in the middle of nowhere with nothing and they still looked awful good that second episode. Their hair is still oh so nice. I'll bet they still have perms and are clean shaven a month from now.
They also acted quite illogically. For one, they stayed. I don't care if it's half a million dollars. I am afraid of the winters in Siberia. Without food and suitable clothing to survive the freezing and dark winter, when they announce that we can get $5,000 for leaving I'd be raising my hand and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

The acting of this show is so-so, nobody is going to win Emmy or some other award, it wasn't bad as well, it was something you would expect from the actors you never heard off. But the show itself, I absolutely loved it! Yes, it has many unsolved mysteries in its plot line, but I think that makes it worthwhile watching. The whole ambient of the setting is awesome, dark, cold, secretive, the ghost town was a nice touch to the overall plot.
I couldn't wait to see the next episode and I am hoping they bring us the second season, it would be a shame they left like this. There are way too many unanswered questions, I already felt that the first season missed another ten episodes for the viewers to find out at least some part of the storyline.
