If you like this kind of thing, you'll like Crusoe but you have to get over the "cheese".
Its predictable, and the acting isn't the greatest.
The sets are incredible.
All of these things can be said exactly the same for Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (which I own the first season on DVD so I obviously like it) and Xena: Warrior Princess.
Since I liked both those shows, I guess it remains to be seen whether I'll like it for this one.
I find the show passable, and amusing if you're looking for something light and fluffy thats obviously not meant for anything serious.
