Rec Us Your Newest Thing.

So, if you've known me for a while, you'll probably know that my favourite shows are Lost, Yellowjackets and The Wilds. And if you know anything about those shows, you'll have spotted a theme - all three are plane crash survival themed.

So it won't come as a surprise that my newest rec is the Paramount+ show The Castaways.

I'd read the book about two and a half years ago (thinking it might not be a bad idea to do a re-read at some point and refresh my memory of it - my head wasn't in the best place at that point in time because of how long it had been since I'd seen any family and I was dreading the visit that was planned not going ahead) so once I knew about the show, naturally I was going to check it out.

Brief summary: Sisters Lori and Erin are holidaying in Fiji, they're supposed to be getting a flight to another island but have a big argument the night before the flight, and Erin ends up not boarding the plane, which then crashes on a remote island. Erin doesn't accept that they're all dead and when she finds out that the pilot of the flight has somehow escaped to civilisation, she's determined to find out what really happened. Lori's time on the island is also shown.

That sounds really good, and yes, you do have a theme.
