TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

hesketh27 Am now halfway through box set of Series 2 on NowTV and loving every minute of it! I am addicted to historical drama / fiction but if you are expecting much accuracy in 'Jamestown' then forget it. The acting quality ranges from excellent to poor but any shortcomings are compensated for by the attractive ensemble cast and lush photography that makes full use of the stunning scenery - this show is beautiful to look at. It's very easy to become totally involved in the life of the characters as this is purely and simply a soap opera in fancy dress. Don't bother to analyse - switch off your brain for 50 minutes sit back and enjoy!

mayaclarke-14898 I am absolutely in love with this series! I hope they keep it coming until it's inevitable end. All of the characters have their own individual backrounds and stories and always leave you yearning to learn more. Would definitely recommend giving it a watch.

dannii7 This is Jamestown. Made by the creators of the hit drama series Downtown Abbey.Jamestown is not as delicate as Downtown abbey, how could it? Jamestown took place far earlier than Downtown and the life situation where not as developed so that's makes this series rather rough. The series is about three women. Well, lets just call them lady red, lady Blonde and lady Brown, who is adjusting to new life in Virginia. All actors are convincing, remarkable acting.I would like the episodes to be stuffed with more content, because right now it is very limited in actions and have lack of speed, why it sometimes can seem slowly.

scvj-06911 I thought, "oooh, from the producers of Downtown Abbey, that bodes well." I quickly decided that the producers should have stayed in the 19th - early 20th centuries, and across the pond. There's only so much suspension of disbelief one can expect from a viewer, and this is Historical Fiction not SciFi/Fantasy.Examples: There was no gold in or anywhere near colonial Jamestown. Wolves do not spontaneously attack humans. Clothes do not walk themselves magically clean after a struggle in a swamp. In a society where men are so terribly starved for women, how is it there's a handy ladies' maid waiting patiently for an imported mistress to serve? No idiot would publicly admit that he cheats at dice in a culture that hangs thieves. And another reviewer mentioned the nagging detail about an ocean-going vessel docking in obviously shallow water at a small upriver pier. Even the music sounds unoriginal--I swear it's recycled from the show, Hell on Wheels.I sincerely hope they get a script writer who has read some history. The cast deserves it. (And note to the reviewer who complained about the bleached blonde: that actress is actually blonde. It's the red head who was dyed for the part.)
