ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

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!

M34 Seriously, the acting is not bad, I have seen worse. The fact that there are anachronisms aplenty and a serious dumbing down of history for UK audiences is tolerable. That the misogyny among the British is shown, but the even deeper misogyny among the native Americans is not, is OK to. That the British are seen as stealing land, but the native tribes there, who were recent arrivals after killing proceeding native tribes is not mentioned? OK as well.That the three lead women are dressed as they are, in clean clothes and clean personal hygiene is ridiculous, OK there too. The premise of the three women, especially the absurd outright conniving of the lead blonde is hilariously shallow. But, sure why not.That the really bad guy, is the guy with scars is the straw that breaks the camels back. it is ironic how such hamfisted and acrobatic political correctness makes the person with disability or disfigurement the bad guy over and over.

Paul Papadopoulos What a waste of good actors and what a poor production. This is more a Harlequin novel adaptation than a serious attempt to provide an informative yet entertaining series. Within a minute of the beginning a clumsy cog about 100 years out of fashion survives a nasty Atlantic storm. The weather clears and a Caribbean blue sky dominates. One of the imported brides has died and her corpse consigned to the sea. All of the young women have had time and space to clean themselves up (How did the Avon lady get aboard?). In my life time I have crossed the Atlantic many times but by the time one reaches the Americas in five hours one is totally wasted; turbulence or not, regardless of a first class or economy class passage. Here we see the lovely freshly made up young girls emerging from confined smelly cabin spaces to land and proceed to their allotted stranger husbands (no preview videos available). Reminds me of the modern Greek movie 'Brides' or the reality of Les Files Du Roi, young would be French brides given each a small hand box of low value jewels as a dowry by the French king to help populate New France. That at least is real history. Back to the beginning; the first shot of the ship's ensign is the Union Jack, 100 years too early it was adopted only as a result of the Act of Union between Scotland and England in 1707.

MeMeTellem A colony of men are on land to work on or purchase their own land. Ran by higher anarchy of men, who regulate laws and oversee the "town". Certain men have their chance to purchase a wife, as they do so, the women are sent to the town, by ship, to serve the men as their wives. At first, when the women arrive, men are smitten, forceful, and aggressive over the women they would like to marry. Along the way, The women stick up for themselves and help their husbands through their troubles. Some, however, fall in love with men who are not their husbands. There was a ship full of women but we only see the main three and two others: The red head, the brunette, the blonde, the governor's wife and mistress castell's maid (supplied by her husband.) Where are the other women??? Only three men were able to purchase women??? A poor man whose worked hard for his money and saved to send for a wife (OK). An older drunk man, who drinks all of the time...(not sure how he was able to purchase a wife)...and a man of high statue (this one makes the most sense). The women arrive and they begin to figure out misfortunes in the town. I thought this would be a "we women should stick together" type of story but no. They barely talk to each other. Silus and Alice hold each other all the time. Too many times. There's a lot of kissing but no sex. Not that it matters but it will play up the point of purchasing a wife for that time period. I'm sure the men didn't buy wives for a working partner. The women are, for the most part, clean yet the men are always filthy. How are the women bathing but the men aren't? Except for the doctor and the men of high stature. Even the poor men's wives are clean.
