Crusoe

The right story, the good performances. the flash backs . and the humor. few virtues of a serie who could be defined as decent in the sense of old fashion work. because it is not one of serie proposing eccentric new perspectives about a classic book. it is not one of series looking for impress. it represents a good example of well crafted serie. using original lines, proposing smart questions about contemporary problems. being useful. a serie for entire family, embroidery of beautiful performances, adventure in old fashion style and wise pledge for fundamental values.

This show is well worth the effort to watch. It's "Horatio Hornblower" meets "Castaway" meets "Pirates of the Caribbean." It has plots and a sub plot that will keep your attention and make it difficult to wait a week for the next episode! It's clean and Crusoe has exemplary integrity through very difficult odds. Each week you will learn a new piece of information about how Crusoe got to the island, and how he and Friday became inseparable. Unless you are a hyper-critical couch potato that has nothing better to do than rip apart well-rounded TV shows, you'll love this show! It definitely beats those shows full of social drama, immorality, and graphic psychos. If I wanted to see that I could walk outside and look around.

This is one of the best tv series i ever seen . It gives me positive energy . I dunno why producer stopped it . Unfortunately people of these years love blood and sicky stories . Must be worry about new world.

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.

Thought this was a solid show. There is some violence and blood, but not excessive and is certainly family friendly. The friendship between Crusoe and Friday is the glue of the show, and it's done very well. I get a mix of Swiss Family Robinson with some of the fun, lighthearted elements of Pirates of the Caribbean.

I thought the acting was very good by our 2 leads Crusoe and Friday. People dunking on Crusoe's accent - meh I don't care. I thought it was fine. If anything, I thought Friday's accent sounded a bit off. The scenery of the island and the treehouse were outstanding. The sheer number of gadgets that Crusoe had rigged up was a bit much and took out some of the realism.

The show starts with Crusoe already well-established on the island. It then gradually sprinkled in his back story, and that was done really well. But it did result in the show bogging down here and there in the first half of the series...particularly since our 2 guys are living life on easy mode with virtually no issues except for island visitors. In fact, now that I think about it, every "issue" they had came from other people who came to the island. I would have liked to see them struggle with just "island life" a little bit.

The show really picks up in the 2nd half of the series, and the final 2 episodes leaves you with a very satisfying "crisis resolution".

Would strongly recommend watching.
