Nautilus

...clearly, because it is not just quite good, it is rather excellent!

So far a brilliant adaption to the original story from time honoured Science Fiction genius Jules Verne who, as the better SF Authors have been known to do, predicted technology (in this case submarines) well before they were a reality.

The cast is excellently chosen with the interactions and conflicts not only believable, but enthralling.

All the effects are immersive and cleverly drawn from historical realities mixed in with the fantasy derived from Vernes vision.

The story itself is character driven, with the infamous Nautilus being the biggest of these. Being drawn into the tale is fantastic fun, with the entire cast playing endearing characters from the villianous Admiral to the tormented Nemo and rest of the quirky unique crew of the Nautilus.

With Disney's latest offerings into SciFi, this comes as no surprise that an excellent Series was dropped by them. Bless AMC's cotton socks for picking it up, and I fervently hope enough people are exposed to this that they keep giving us more!

(UPDATED REVIEW: In order to reflect my change of star ratings. I still rate the first 3 episodes a solid 9/10, but it splashes down to a firm 7 until the final 30mins)

I recently binged the first season of Nautilus and the Adventures of Captain Nemo and was pleasantly surprised.

While the show certainly has a nostalgic, cheesy charm, it's a delightful throwback to classic sci-fi shows like; Quantum Leap, Stargate franchise, Sea Quest. The visuals are stunning, capturing the underwater world with a sense of wonder and mystery.

The series' exploration of different underwater life and locations is a interesting change of pace. The Nautilus takes the audience on a thrilling journey. The show's potential for storytelling is limitless, and I hope to see many seasons to come.

While I'm disappointed that Disney passed on this series, I hope it finds a deserving home. Nautilus is a hidden gem that deserves a wider audience.

Nautilus and the adventures of Captain Nemo.

If you're a fan of shows like firefly (RIP) this is a fun romp that has many things going for it:

1. EXCELLENT cast of characters (no one fades into the background, you start to fall in love with each one)

2. The world building is fascinating/endless opportunities here

3. Set and costume design = chef's kiss

4. Well written dialogue -- the funny bits feel earned and natural

i very much hope this show is renewed for a second season, this crew has earned a place in my imagination and i'd like to see where they go next!

I remember this going into production the other year, and really looking forward to it, but I'm finding it hard to figure out what's the target ordinance, as it's not magical enough for kids, and a little underwhelming for adults. It looks like a Disney ride, and there's budget CGI, which dose not help the overall look. The characters are all a little predictable, as are the storylines, which is a real shame. I want to like it, but to be honest have found it a little boring. The touch paper has been lit, but I'm still waiting for the bang, which I'm hoping with come in a few episodes down the line.

We've all heard of Captain Nemo and the Nautilus. This adaptation of that story is going to disappoint the Jules Verne fanatics. However, I found it to be a breath of fresh air.

It reminded me of The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen which I absolutely loved. Nautilus has all the elements required to be a big hit. Fun, adventure, sea monsters et al. The characters are vivid, engaging and very likable. Every episode moves the story along and it has a great ending (and possibilities for another season). It's also suitable for all the family, something that is all to rare these days. Give it a go, you will know after the first episode if it's for you or not.
