Great Show

Tarzan had EVERYTHING in a tv show I've looked for. It grabbed my attention from the opening scene. I never once got bored or disappointed in the way the characters acted or did something.

Travis Fimmel and the rest of the cast deserve major props because there roles in this show were amazing. Travis's looks could say more than the most delightful dialect. Sarah Wayne Callies reactions to Tarzan were amazing. She could blush and smile and make you believe it was true attraction. Travis' and Sarah's on-screen chemistry was out of this world. We never actually got a kiss scene but WOW there should have been one. Miguel Nunez Jr. was hilarious. His lines could make you laugh out loud. Lucy Lawless played an amazing role. She was fiesty and witty. Mitch Pileggi was Great as well. You could tell he really got into his character.

If I were to rate this show I would give it a 10 being the highest. I really wish the show had lasted longer than 8 eppisodes but I'm not going to whine because I'm glad it even happened.
