Renegade Nell

Some of you need to learn how to have fun and not take everything so seriously. I swear some people are so uptight with their reviews. I thought this show so far (I'm three episodes in) is lighthearted and fun. The comedic writing is good, the storyline/plot is entertaining so far and I like Nell and most of the cast. It's fun natured and clearly meant to be entertaining and lighthearted and good fun. You're not watching a freaking documentary for the love of God, so if you expect it to be perfectly accurate to the time period and history, watch something else. This clearly isn't for you. It's fun and it's not meant to be watched as a film snob or to be taken quite so seriously, I thought that was pretty evident from the very first episode...Some of you didn't get the memo clearly.

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!

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.

Can we speak plainly? When the creators of a series decide to take historical fiction, historical fantasy, and the supernatural -- and throw the entire lot into a Ninja blender set on HI, the result is not going to please everyone. On the other hand, this is entertainment we are talking about, not a medical school entrance exam. So, depending on the viewer, it either works. Or it doesn't. Think of shows like WEDNESDAY or XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS. Good production values, good acting, good writing. Now it is entirely up to you. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."

I loved it from start to finish. The action was great and the acting was lovely. I was hooked from the first episode and couldn't wait to watch the next. A bit dark, exciting, and a great female lead. A few laughs here and there to lighten it up a bit. So disappointed there won't be a second season. I would have absolutely loved to see where they were going to take the story. Such a bummer when they make good shows but they don't stick around. I feel like this show had some new adventure to it, not just a remake of old stories. It was refreshing to have such a strong female lead whose sisters were awesome too.
