Featured review
Dreadful start killed the potential audience.
The series starts off incredibly badly thus turning off many viewers, however I only review things I've seen in full & it does actually improve a lot to get to a point where I do give it 5 stars ( worth persevering with if you like a light hearted show where you know going in this is very light entertainment ).
Did the show deserve a series 2... no it did not as just too many early mistakes in the pilot that would turn off most people who understandably would not have the time to invest in a show with better shows out there.
Sean Bean has a very minor role ( he is very good, as he must have been disappointed with the Director, script writers & some of the other actors who did not do the potential of this show ( or the book ) any real justice here.
Sam Neill was also in this a lot more in the final episodes of the series but by then the show was dead in the water ( but he did a good actors job still ).
I did feel a bit bad for Philip Winchester as the script was ludicrous & he did his acting as "Crusoe"to the best of his average ability, however I did really enjoy the performance of Tongayi Chirisa as "Friday" as he tried to embrace the show for what it was & he delivered his lines both seriously & amusingly as required by the script each time & made the show in the end a 5 star.
