Renegade Nell

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.

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.

What a celebration!

Renegade Nell was absolute fun, action flavored with fantasy and a wonderful Luisa Harland (better known as Orla from the Derry Girls).

Her Irish accent tops it all, brilliant! But also the other characters, e.g. Florence Keen as George. Everything on top!

Exciting, funny, fantastic, hardly anything is missing. This series is different than anything I've seen before. The Mystery Part is awesome and fits wonderful into the Show. It ist not to much, the charcters are still normal persons. It is so much fun. Give it a try and have a lot of fun!

I'm looking forward to a second season!

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.

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.
