Just finished the Wilds initial (hopefully) season. It's about nine teenage girls en route to a girls-only retreat in Hawaii, when their plane goes down and they ended up stranded on an island with mysterious circumstances, with their backstories told by flashbacks.
It sounds a lot like Lost, but other than that, is much different. The characters are cliched on the surface (athletic one, smart awkward one, religious one, etc) and some of the storylines are a little predictable, but otherwise it's a fantastic show that's much grittier than lost - the scabs and burns and conditions after being stranded are much more real imo, as well as the various mental states.
It's a mostly female cast, and most of the issues they tackle are female-centric, but that only makes it better. I'm not a female, but the depictions to me seemed realistic, if not a bit overboard at some points.
