El barco

I was hoping that this show would feature more amazing sci-fi scenes, but it is just a high school (or even junior high) romance series. The relationships between the characters are so boring and predictable. The young women are all worthless twits who base their reality on what man "likes" them.....maybe it 's just the translation, but the script is absurd. I am on the 3rd season and will watch to the end only because I have spent hours watching this....despite knowing that the dialogue and romance b.s. will be the highlights of this show. BAH!

"The North Star" is a ship meant to go on a journey for two months. On board we find its crew, a teacher, a scientist and a bunch of students about to start an adventure they would never thought of.

Julia Wilson (Irene Montalà) is a scientist working with the people in charge of the Particle Accelerator in Geneva. Something goes terribly wrong and a black hole will make the continents disappear under the water. They all survive the storm and the side effects of the particle accelerator and now the only solid surface they can step on, it's their ship. Nevertheless they are not safe, and more problems come across as they go on with their journey which is now finding a piece of land that is still standing.

You have action, adventure, romance, mystery, sci-fi and some very amusing moments - all-in-one - as they face whats coming, as they start getting along with each other like a family (or not?) and as the mysteries get revealed. Good interpretation, screenplay and special effects.

It's been a while since the show aired and I don't even know what to write about it without spoiling. But I would compare it to LOST, The Event and even Kyle XY. If you've seen any of those and enjoyed them, I think you're gonna love this one! Totally worth it so far!

The writers of this serie are the dumbest people ever....Such an amazing beggining but then looks like their lack of imagination took them to common soap opera path of dealing with the same stupid issue for more than two (2) seasons with the killer of the boat....and to make it worst they finally put together the best couple of the boat to break the relationship in in one stupid episode...No imagination at all and situations happen with no common sense at all either...Very sad that some people get the chance of their lifetime and throw it in a garbish-can in a blink of an eye...

Thought it was very good. Didn't care for the silly romantic scenes, Salomie using the word Carina, honey in almost every sentence, her match making efforts, trying to get everyone paired off, just seemed too much emphasis. She acted too much like " Goody Two-Shoes" Instead of working together they were too much involved in hook ups. They must've had stock in Coke , always drinking it, just seemed unreal. Too much emphasis on Valeries fantasy land. In general I liked it and would recommend.

Loved the first season, even with its over abundance of telenovela melodrama, but the series started to falter halfway through the second season. Most of the characters and writing weren't interesting enough to maintain interest across several episodes. They started getting redundant, some subplots about relationships carried on way too long, and the day-to-day issues they had to face were just monotonous. Walking Dead has the exact same issues, yet for some reason that clunker is still on the air.

The Boat should have focused more on the science fiction aspect of it and wrapped it all up by end of season two (same with Walking Dead BTW). I stuck with it through season three but it was obvious the writers had run out of ideas. The cheap cliffhanger they threw in during the last episode was just weak too.

If you want to see this, just watch season one and skip the rest. First season also has some interesting scenes with female nudity which vanished in later seasons.
