WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

chrism-33310 Whilst I disagree with a lot of previous reviews, I will agree that the first episode was awfully slow paced and seemed to drag on a little bit, However I feel from episode 2 onwards, we see a better development in character and storylineHopefully this show is renewed for a second season as I feel there needs to be more of these types of gritty period drama without the pride and prejudice romanticism.

irelanddoterra I love this show and I hope it continues running for a long time.It is made for women more than men. The women are strong characters and you want to cheer them on.Who cares if it isn't exactly as history says it should be. It's entertaining! Go watch a documentary if you want factual history.

fandomfatale I checked out the reviews on here before I watched the first episode, and proceeded despite the overall negativity. I'm glad I did - I was hooked right away and I won't find the wait until the next episode easy. I understand how some people care about historical accuracy - but I couldn't care less and I'm sure that's true for many viewers too, and I don't think you could call any of this show's mistakes egregious. They made some compromises for convenience, some to spice things up, and some probably out of ignorance but if it's spoiling someone's enjoyment of the story then that's on them because there's nothing ridiculous. Overall I think it's a finely polished show, focused mainly on the relationships between the characters, and particularly the struggles of the new female arrivals to find their place in the settlement and carve out some agency for themselves. I like all of the main characters a lot, and I don't get to say that very often. Verity and Jocelyn in particular are delightful. I can't wait to see what they are going to do and say next.It's not as witty as Downton Abbey, but it's soapy in the same way. However, I wouldn't assume it would attract the same kinds of fans.

jonnithomas The plot is weak on a subject which could have been excellent. The blonde character is supposed to be manipulating people but her actions and motives are laughable. She is far too transparent and it lacks any realism.The characters are all far too clean and wearing clothes that just wouldn't be possible in that environment. some have long hair and haven't shaved but the whole location is plastic and unbelievable.it just lacks any realism. The female characters are far too independent and it seems politically correct. They were bought by their 'husbands' and would have been effectively slaves. They are there to breed from, no love as most have never met their new owner before. In that environment argue with your owner and you would be beaten. that would be far more realistic. Instead you have romantic love interests popping up within minutes of seeing someone. its just unrealistic.It really puzzles me as to the expected audience of this drivel.Update. I did try to get into this but 4 episodes and it is total rubbish. All I can think is that it was written for children. Maybe if you are 12 and female you might think the clothes are good.
