Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

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.

Kamila Bell 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.

Mathizsias2 I'll keep this short and without spoilers, I found this mini-series to be well crafted, well acted on the most part, it had decent dialogues but a very mediocre story and boring villains. Historic accuracy.. not here, it is however fun.Most actors hit the spot when it comes to filling their role and acting their bit, I particularly liked Abbie Cornish(Belinda) and Tim Blake Nelson(Meeker). The other main cast does a decent job, but doesn't get up to their level.Tim Roth plays Tim Roth which is fine, I liked him in Lie to me, but there's nothing distinguishing about his role in this mini-series, he plays a very generic villain.

dolphin888 What a fantastic story this could have been, and of course in fact actually was! But what a horrendously and stupendously horrid story this joke of a mini-series portrayed. A total discredit to what the men and women went through in the Yukon during that time. The maker of this film basically turned a real life drama in to some form of ridiculous soap opera. I put this catastrophic film right up there with the joke that James Cameron turned the Titanic in to. How can you go so wrong with a movie when the fantastic story is already written for you? Absolutely shameful for everyone involved. I very rarely review any movies, but the garbage of this film motivated me to speak out and hopefully steer people away. Or, if nothing else, then to at least provide some comfort to those who died during their time in the Klondike and who are now turning in their graves!

Jeff Lefebvre The show is slow moving because it is supposed it is supposed to accurate. I believe it is based on a novel by Jack London who visited the Klondike to write about it. Richard Madden is the main character and plays it well except that he hates to wear hats as a personal matter. He was a character in Game of Thrones crossing the frozen landscape and did not wear a hat. Stupid thing to put up with. That show has a powerful ending including a couple minutes of the credits but you have to watch the entire show to get the ending. My suggestion is to record it and binge watch it. remind yourself that the show is supposed to give you a snapshot of many situations that happened in the gold rush.

mscharle01 I accidentally turned on the miniseries at 8 am on a beautiful sunny Colorado Saturday morning and did not leave the house until 1:30 that day. I was hooked from the opening scene and continued so..until I realized there was only 30 mins left in the 6 hour series and I did not want it to end..so I turned it off so I could savor the last 30 minutes at a later time.I would compare it to Lonsesome Dove and the Hatfield's and McCoys in its capacity to draw you into the characters and living conditions of that time. This miniseries was a little less dark than Hatfield's and McCoy's. They had a little fun on the way to the Klondike and some fun when they got there. There were a few parts that were a little unrealistic like how did Abbie Cornish stay looking so good dealing with the harsh elements and how did she get there and why did she stay? It makes me want to read the book..although I don't want the ending for the Count to be any different than it was!! Thank you Discovery Channel for giving us something inspiring and exciting to watch..the reality shows are getting a little demoralizing..the investigative dramas and detective stories a little creepy..how much gratuitous blood do we need. The miniseries helps one see the eternal value of taking the high road..even when justice doesn't prevail at that moment in time..and the importance and joy of having true friends!
