The show The Colony is a "what if?" show on Discovery Channel showing what it would be like if there was an apocalypse and survivors had to rebuild and thrive. Each season has the volunteers start out in a cordoned off part of a city. The first season has them in an old factory area in LA. The second has them on the gulf coast in a burned out neighborhood. In each season the "colonists," as they call themselves, start out with a designated amount of time alone, without food or water. They have a certain building they are going to stay in, stocked witha small amount of supplies. The colonists have to rebuild and stay alive for the entirety of the experiment.
Although it is not real, the colonists begin to believe that the entire story is true due to the fact that they are in it for so long. The colonists are often hungry and thirsty and this can cause stress and anger. Besides internal difficulties, the colonists are challenged by ruthless outsiders who will use violence to get the supplies they need (in the first season the outsiders are told not to purposefully harm the volunteers but in the second season that rule does not apply). Along with hostile outsiders, in each season, a few friendly outsiders come in. They have been told that they are supposed to try to join the colony. Whether the original colonists are told that they should be let in, i do not know. A very small fraction of what actually happens makes it to the TV. But either way, this is just yet another test about the colonists values of sympathy, protection, and trust.
In the second season, there is a government of sorts called VOPA (Viral Outbreak Protection Agency). When the colonists are first dropped off, they are told that their compound is a safe zone, and though it is free of the virus, the place has many other dangers besides that one.
All in all it is a great show. I would definitely suggest watching it.
Source: watching both seasons in about 2 weeks :P
