5/5 Hapers Island
  by Oeocats (Garden City, MI)
This was an awesome show, that my son loved so much that he wanted this for his birthday. Great edition to have to your Dvd collection.

5/5 LOVED IT FROM EPISODE 1
  by Stacey Copass (Tompkinsville, Ky.)
I was hooked from episode 1. I couldnt wait til the next week to see who was next on the chopping block. It had so many different characters it could have been, but wasnt. When the killer was finally revealed i was shocked I bought it when it came out and everybody who borrowed it loved it. Sure it might have had a little corniness in it but it was still a great show. I loved it.

3/5 who-dun-it
  by J. Kroeckel (New Franklin MO)
I loved it from start to ... well, almost finish. I couldn't wait to get my dvd set and start watching - again. Of course I watched it on tv, suffered through commercials etc. I thought it started to fall apart in the next to last show but it really hit the bottom on the last episode. Oh, well. I watch it like some other of my favorites, and when it gets to the end, I stop the movie. Don't even watch the ending anymore. Of course, Harper's Island had a decent ending, if you like girl gets boy, finally.

4/5 Nice tv series
  by Brian Roberts (Houston, TX)
This was a really good series that reminded me of the story Ten Little Indians but the ending was pretty weak. I still liked it though. It was fun to try and guess who would be killed next.

5/5 Scream for more Harper's anything
  by David E. Hicks
This show was amazing breath of fresh air amongst your reality tv shows. I read about it in Ent Weekly and waited for dvd release to watch, no cable. In the negative reviews it talks of the first four episodes being to crowded but I was hooked from the first ten minutes, watching the first murder through fingers and yelling at my tv omg! omg!. The show takes it turn in ep five, this was planned and explained in the extras. It is guilty pleasure show so dissecting it seriously ruins the show for you so don't. The arcs and twists are swift, some expected some surprising. Watching and guessing is the fun. Desertion of the island of it's locals and tourists is explained you have to be paying attention. I avoided spoilers on this show until I seen it, I won't put any in my review. Very good show, what I expected my only dissapointment was the final credits. Get it, watch it, have fun!

Harper's Island: The DVD Edition Summary A Horror-inspired Drama, This Cbs Series Is About A Group Of Friends And Family Who Meet To Celebrate A Wedding On An Island Just Outside Seattle, An Island That Is Famous For A Streak Of Unsolved Murders Seven Years Ago. Suspense Ensues When They End Up Dead One By One; Has The Killer Returned Or Is Someone Else To Blame?

Harper's Island, the guiltiest pleasure of the 2009 summer TV season, is part Agatha Christie and part Friday the 13th. This cleverly plotted 13-episode CBS mystery event invites return visits to the eponymous island where a good portion of an ill-fated wedding party will not survive to celebrate the happy couple's first anniversary. Harper's Island begins with a "Whap" and goes out with a "Sigh" (each onomatopeaic episode title replicates the sound of a victim's demise). Here's the set-up: Pauper Henry (Christopher Gorham) and princess "Trish" (Katie Cassidy) have invited family and friends to Harper's Island, located 37 miles off the coast of Seattle, for their nuptials. Seven years earlier, John Wakefield slaughtered six people there. These were the first murders in the history of the island. A title card warns us they will not be the last. One by one, episode by episode, a killer (or killers) methodically picks off the wedding guests in grisly and gory fashion. Some characters are more expendable than others, and those who are dispatched early don't get the chance to make much of an impression (cousin Ben doesn't even make it out of the dock in the opening episode), but as the mystery unfolds and the body count escalates, viewers become more emotionally invested in those who survive the longest. For Abby Mills (Elaine Cassidy) this is all kinds of personal. Abby, Henry's once-inseparable childhood friend, has not been back to the island since Wakefield, presumed dead, slaughtered her mother. She is reunited with her estranged father, the sheriff (Jim Beaver), and Jimmy (C.J. Thomason), the boy she left behind. Harper's Island will keep viewers guessing until its final twist, which is a doozy, although somewhat suspect. But until then, the series is an effective horror show that gets under your skin with its attractive cast, soap-opera dramatics, tantalizing red herrings, and quality kills (although nothing in the show is as creepy as the unnerving little girl named Madison). Those who missed the boat when Harper's Island first aired are advised to steer clear of the spoiler-heavy bonus features until you've watched it through to the bloody end. --Donald Liebenson
