Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
lanettekarner I was not sure I was going to enjoy this, but I have almost binge watched it!It has a frontier town theme, with the best bits of romance and angst from the period dramas 'North and South' and 'Pride and Prejudice.'I enjoyed the premise and story line and relating this drama to the history of real life towns set up around such 19th century projects. Life was brutal and this series reflects that well.Give this one a chance and see how the story, characters and great acting draw you in.Thoroughly recommend:)
marielaC I found the first episode boring, or maybe I couldn't concentrate properly because of the wig Jessica Raine was wearing. But it gets better as the episodes go on. The plot is full of clichés and the action is predictable but I don't think acting was bad. Someone mentioned the scene of the women doing the laundry, and I agree. One of the women is washing some clothing while standing on her two feet, and she doesn't look wet or anything. Anyways... On the whole, the show remains mild and unimpressive throughout, but I still watch it to the end. I give it 6 stars.
Richard von Lust This series is simply a classic example of mainstream pulp fodder aimed to push modern political idealism by setting it in the past and trying to convince a mindless audience everyone has always thought what Hollywood wants us to think now.OK it wasn't directly made by Hollywood but a quick check on the production associates and the financial origins behind this rubbish will identify the link. Independent UK productions are just a dream of the past: now we have to suffer virtual Westerns set in Victorian Yorkshire.And we have to suffer the pulp of beautiful young women in carefully contrived modern make up playing mature mothers in poor villages 150 years ago. And colored bosses behaving as if civil rights had been won before time began. The plot is contrived and predictable, the sets are designed by fashion students and the acting gives as much feeling for the 19th century as Macauley Culkin in Home Alone.You are better off watching WWE wrestling: avoid if you value you time.
jpdhadfield i was looking forward to 'jericho' as i'm interested in railways history and like dramas. well i should have known, the usual made up history ,parallel universe. ill number my complaints1. not a single Irish man building the railway,2, a black man in charge, in the 1880ish, 3 nobody even looks at the black man, a very rare thing in Britain in the 1880's .4.unrealistic concerns for dead or injured workers5. it felt just like a western cowboy film, just set in Yorkshire.6pah
