JennaSide I am giving this 10/10 because I was not yelling abuse at the screen for people doing dumb stuff. I enjoyed this a lot (far more than the Walking Dead of late).Yes, there were the obvious character cliché's, but the show moved past that. I really enjoy a show where you think to yourself "why don't they just do this logical thing" and then they do it!! This happens so rarely in shows these days. They also withheld enough info so that you couldn't know any better than the characters (SPOILER) e.g. Esther not really pressing helicopter button, which we didn't find out about til later, she was quite believable when she said was going to do it, and wanted to give up the show, and redeem herself, especially with someone being so seriously hurt.More SPOILER theory stuff..... I firmly believe that the host was one of the soldiers at the research station - the camera men kept focusing on that one soldier. I am certain that the cameramen were involved. Why else would the soldiers not have pushed them around, and let one of them run alongside filming as they dragged the cast into a line up. Also the cameramen focusing camera on the soldier I believe was the host - like he was ready to capture some drama. Yes, they were out of contact with the production staff, so they didn't know what would happen next, but they assumed they should keep the camera on the host/soldier just in case. Also: The fact that a cameraman was left behind at the research station and was allowed to film the perspective of the soldier shooting Annie. The only time the cameramen helped was to pick up the radio and give the location - this was because they had been out of contact with the soldiers and needed to radio in (knowing that the signal was being jammed and the only possible radio contact was with the soldiers).I don't think the host lived in the apartment at the end (the cast were looking at the owners photo's), but I think it belonged to a soldier. The host knew they were there because of the cameraman. This leads me to the one thing I did think was dumb... why on earth did they stay in the town??? They found the truck, and they were already at risk by losing time having to walk to the town. They should have grabbed supplies and got in the truck and left. Obviously Esther dumped the truck cause she ran into another option - e.g.a soldier she could manipulate, or... the cameraman/soldier who she had the liaison with back at the camp, or she got into trouble. The only reason to stay in that apartment in that town and be found by the host was to set up the drama for season-2 (which I am guessing will never happen). Lastly, I agree with someone else on the web.... how good would it have been if the falcon was the key to it all - the successful result of the experiments, and then they released it.

Girish Gowda In 1908, an unexplained event occurred deep in the remote Siberian territory of Tunguska. Now, a hundred years later, sixteen reality-show participants descend on Tunguska unknowing of the land's mysterious past. These contestants, from varied walks of life, will attempt to battle the elements and each other in a quest to survive the harsh winter and claim a large cash prize. What is initially met with unbridled enthusiasm quickly turns to sheer panic as a series of strange events begin to occur. The contestants soon attribute the occurrences to ruses set up by the producers, even dismissing the death of a fellow contestant as accidental. When a contestant is badly injured and no help arrives, the contestants meet the chilling realization that the strange occurrences are not part of the show. With their safety threatened, competing contestants must band together in an effort to survive.If anyone mistook this for an actual reality show in the beginning, they can be forgiven. The premise and execution is a Lost meets Survivor kind of thing. The characters are quite nuanced at times and most of the actors are believable as 'real contestants' on a 'reality show'. It took me a couple of episodes to warm up to it after which I decided to forget about the illogical camera angles and the number of camera crew it would require to actually shoot the way they did. This was surprisingly good, but the last episode (which was trimmed down from 2 episodes because of the network at the last moment) didn't have a payoff. Still, the monsters, the green sky in the night, the flattened forest among others, will all be memorable even if the show isn't renewed for a second season. It has been one hell of a ride and if it does get renewed (highly improbable), then I'd recommend Siberia to people who are into this stuff. If it doesn't get a season 2, then don't bother with it. Its not a great show, some stupid stuff does tend to happen, but its at a bare minimum and its decent entertainment which gets better as it progresses.7/10

ptrunzo Lost meets survivor with a bit of x-files thrown in for good measure. Very creatively done so, unfortunately, it will probably be canceled. With all of the useless, brainless reality drivel out there you would think that a similarly based show that actually took some talent to create and required some thought would be a major hit?! The setting is awesome, beautiful and mysterious. The characters, love them or hate them (and believe me you will really hate several of them, but in a good way)are presented by fabulous actors and actresses who make them extremely believable. If you like wilderness survival situations, if you like sci-fi mixed with Survivorman, if you were a lost junkie like me, if you like reality television with a really cool twist or if you just want to watch some intelligently done "reality" television. This is surely for you.

danadrummer 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.
