Yes this review has Plenty of Spoilers!
Just watched tis pilot on Netflix last night. First time ever. Watch it First Before reading on. Fantasy Island Pilot/Movie : My conclusion? I love the Dark Themes. Almost like a quasi horror episode.
Murder, Revenge, Time Travel, Psycho, Sex, Suicide, Redemption, Love. Greenwood Did kill the actress playing Francesca.
The look on Rourke's face tell it all. He lied when he says Francesca left on a plane. There are a lot of subtle expressions that says more than what he'd voice out. Remember 'Francesca' shouted 'Rourke! This is Not Real!' When Arnold was chasing her in the flat. And as Rourke promised, Greenwood's fantasy will be recreated 'Exactly'. Unfortunate for the person playing Francesca; whose head was probably also bash in by a beam, just like what happened 30 years ago. One of the Dark sides of Fantasy Island. Rourke letting someone die to recreate a sad guy's Fantasy.
Not sure how he got Michelle to be the Suicidal Hunter's evening companion, but at least they might become a couple after leaving the island. How quaint they don't show couples in bed naked after their deed, but dressed up and ready for the morning's hunt. I just imagine Tattoo dressing up the two lovers and getting a kick out of it.
As for Eunice keeping her weak husband around? That's either twisted or brilliantly diabolical. At least her brother really loves her.
I kinda like the Dark tone of this pilot episode. I distinctly remember the series beling like an Island Love Boat, guess I just never saw this pilot episode before so was pleasantly surprised with this pilot's themes.
Cool show.
