So I found this show "Siberia," from NBC, when it popped up on Hulu Plus. Back at the end of June, they offered a sneak peek at the pilot episode, I watched it, was intrigued, and so I added it to my list of shows on Hulu.
The show is initially set up as a reality series, Survivor-esque, in that the contestants must survive in the Siberian wilderness through the winter. Whomever is left at the end of winter gets $500,000. Apart from that, "there are no rules." It becomes apparent pretty quickly, however, that there are some strange things going on in their part of Siberia. The fact that they're in the Tunguska region surely has nothing to do with it.
When I say "strange things," well... a couple episodes in, one night the sky turns green and glowy. There are strange totem-esque poles out in the woods, and symbols carved on some trees. There may be some kind of native wilderness people out there, watching them. One of the contestants starts getting weirder than he was and more violent too.
Then there's the fact that the producers won't pull the plug on the show when some very serious things start happening.
The show's got me hooked, and I'm not usually one for these kinds of reality series. The 'found footage' aspect of everything is intriguing, too.
