Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Small review, no point in large reviewThe series was briliant. New idea for the time of mystical story of trying to retrieve their father from the jungle down a mysterious river. However strange things happen on the way. Its an extremely brilliant story, excellent characters. I dont understand wht they never made the second series, It doesnt make sense, even stephen king liked the series...MAKE THE SECOND SERIES!!!!!!

I still can't get this TV-show out of my head. It was good. It was well-done. It was engaging. Such a shame that it has been closed! I hope it will be continued one day, somehow :) Loved the plot, the actors, the thrill of it. Again, hope this one will be revived! Fingers crossed.

When I saw the trailer/promo for this show, I knew I wanted to watch it. You don't see very many horror television shows, but this one proved that the genre can be a success if done right. With an appealing cast and twisted story, "The River" creates an awesome show to watch. I think that a lot more could have been done with the show if given the chance.Each episode delivered more mystery and suspense with heart-stopping moments. The characters are also easy to relate to as their stories are developed. I don't remember much about this show except for the fact that it was awesome!If I'm not mistaken, I think the show ended with a scene of the river and the land around it constantly changing so that the travelers could never get out. That was a good cutoff that should have been continued.I wouldn't recommend this for the faint of heart, as it is definitely not for them. If you are a fan of horror or if you just want a good scare, watch "The River"!

No wonder this time waster was canned - poor scripting, poor videography, a tenuous story line and un-credible sets add up to one of the worst series I have seen in ages! Furthermore I am totally insulted not just by the blatant "bleeping out" of expletives - but now we see fuzzing out of lips that are mouthing such words! If this is supposed to be an adult drama then treat the audience as such - if its a kids drama then change the script to make it "less dramatic"! I am clearly buying a censored/incomplete version of a product when I do not wish it to be so - therefore I require a discount or to have the packaging labelled "This product is censored to meet the needs of potentially sensitive audiences" A one star thats well deserved!
