The Ballad of Renegade Nell

Renegade Nell delivers an unforgettable experience, largely due to the exceptional performances by Louisa Harland and Frank Dillane, supported by a great full cast.

Harland's portrayal of Nell is both fierce and vulnerable, capturing the essence of the character with nuance and depth. Showcasing her versatility as an actress, making Nell a multi-dimensional and relatable protagonist

Dillane's charismatic presence as the antagonist adds a thrilling dynamic to the narrative. Their on-screen chemistry is palpable, elevating the story to new heights. A must-watch for their outstanding performances alone.

This series is very well produced and acted! Actually made my Mom put her Solitaire game on her phone down! (I have created a tech monster at 85 y. O. She is like a teenager with her phone...but I digress). The characters are great. The actors are fabulous! So many favorite characters with this series. Nell's character has hints of Gentleman Hack (another great show that unfortunately is no more). This series is also casted very well, in my opinion! Unexpectedly funny, if you actually pay attention. We are binge watching it today! Three more episodes to go. There better be a second season!! I can't imagine Disney not doing so!

I noticed the show when I was browsing through the disney+ app while bored. It's not the usual type of show I watch but I decided to give it a try. I'm definitely glad I did! The show is such fun! It has everything you could want. Action, comedy, drama, great acting and quite a compelling story. I was even suprised that I actually liked most of the characters, definitely thanks to the talented actors and actresses who portray them. The show was so good that I binge watched it all in just two sittings and was left wanting more. I really hope it gets another season so I can see more of the characters and see how there story ends.

A fantastical tale not to be taken too seriously, loosely structured around a real historical story. However, this is entirely fiction and should be seen as such, unlike some reviews on here. The scripts are tight and the acting consistently high from all with some wonderfully over the top incidental characters to lighten the tone.

Every episode tells a story within a story and keeps moving along at a good pace to keep you entertained and wanting more, with no weak episodes. The whole series wraps up nicely which is a refreshing change these days when most series end with a part of the story untold.

Recommended for when you want a little bit of escapism for your entertainment.

It feels very much like something from Joss Whedon, music, characters, low key wry humor. I am hoping it continues. Other reviews I read seemed unfavorable for the very reasons I have sited. People who watch a lot of reality shows probably would not appreciate it for the very reasons that I do. Clever, witty, and twists unexpected. The music is rousing and appropriate. I actually want to watch it, not just putting it on in the background while I ride my Peloton or clip coupons. I do not know any of the principle cast, but all seem skilled. I have gotten old. No longer content to waste the time I have left watching dreck. I am very hopeful rhe rest of the season is as entertaining.
