Crusoe

I enjoyed this one. Not as much as I hoped I would, but it is still enjoyable. The island is wonderful to look at and the two main characters are great, and it's wonderful to see Sam Neill on screen again. The Pirates of the Caribbean like humor makes this more of a family show, which we don't get a lot of times. Yes, it is slow pacing, but it is still entertaining to watch. I hope it gets better.I can see why some were a bit disappointed in it. I, myself, was a little bored in the middle, but it picked up. Some of the comedy in it is great, and the action is good. So is the acting. And the flashbacks gives a nice feel to it. And I loved Crusoe narrating. I hope this sticks around for at least a season. I honestly have no idea why no one is commenting on this show yet. It's definitely worth watching. If they can keep Lost going this long and Gillians Island last as long as it did I'm hoping that Robinson lasts for a season or 2.

If you like this kind of thing, you'll like Crusoe but you have to get over the "cheese".

Its predictable, and the acting isn't the greatest.

The sets are incredible.

All of these things can be said exactly the same for Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (which I own the first season on DVD so I obviously like it) and Xena: Warrior Princess.

Since I liked both those shows, I guess it remains to be seen whether I'll like it for this one.

I find the show passable, and amusing if you're looking for something light and fluffy thats obviously not meant for anything serious.

This TV series is a very solid adaptation of the original classic novel, but with a modern style. Considering there is only (for the most part) two characters, everything relies on the lead actors and they deliver up to standard. The setting is also wonderful to look at and the storyline is gripping.

Stuck at home on a Friday night, I saw a trailer for this way back in the summer and thought "oh this is gonna be sweet!!!!" so I popped the popcorn and began to watch it. The second the character Robinson Crusoe started talking, I thought "What the hell? Is that supposed to be a British accent?" Phillip Winchester did terrible, I thought, and the Friday character wasn't very interesting either. The pirates sucked. In all, the acting is god-awful. I felt like the whole time i wanted to just scream at them to get off the set. Hopefully, throughout the season, the acting and the plot will be more sophisticated and enjoyable.

This is a great series and I'm annoyed that I never knew of its existence when it was on the air. It is one of many that could have done well but ignorant executives of these networks again sabotage a good series because they think they know what people wanted. They gave it bad time slots and little marketing.

The series has many great actors we all know from other great series and movies. In additionto the big obvious names they also have actors from shows and movies like Black Sails and Pirates of the Caribbean. The she show was out in between the great success of Pirates of the Caribbean. Yes there are some cheesy parts at times or not that great of extras, but what show doesn't. The story line is great and all of the main actors are good. It pulls you in and gets you vested fast and keeps you entertained.

Its been too long so no matter the love it gets thanks to streaming we will never get a season 2 and that is very saddening.
