Crusoe

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.

Stuck at home on a Friday night, I saw a trailer for this way back in the summer and thought "oh this is gonna be sweet!!!!" so I popped the popcorn and began to watch it. The second the character Robinson Crusoe started talking, I thought "What the hell? Is that supposed to be a British accent?" Phillip Winchester did terrible, I thought, and the Friday character wasn't very interesting either. The pirates sucked. In all, the acting is god-awful. I felt like the whole time i wanted to just scream at them to get off the set. Hopefully, throughout the season, the acting and the plot will be more sophisticated and enjoyable.

I enjoyed this one. Not as much as I hoped I would, but it is still enjoyable. The island is wonderful to look at and the two main characters are great, and it's wonderful to see Sam Neill on screen again. The Pirates of the Caribbean like humor makes this more of a family show, which we don't get a lot of times. Yes, it is slow pacing, but it is still entertaining to watch. I hope it gets better.I can see why some were a bit disappointed in it. I, myself, was a little bored in the middle, but it picked up. Some of the comedy in it is great, and the action is good. So is the acting. And the flashbacks gives a nice feel to it. And I loved Crusoe narrating. I hope this sticks around for at least a season. I honestly have no idea why no one is commenting on this show yet. It's definitely worth watching. If they can keep Lost going this long and Gillians Island last as long as it did I'm hoping that Robinson lasts for a season or 2.

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.

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.
