Nell: Rinnegata

What a celebration!

Renegade Nell was absolute fun, action flavored with fantasy and a wonderful Luisa Harland (better known as Orla from the Derry Girls).

Her Irish accent tops it all, brilliant! But also the other characters, e.g. Florence Keen as George. Everything on top!

Exciting, funny, fantastic, hardly anything is missing. This series is different than anything I've seen before. The Mystery Part is awesome and fits wonderful into the Show. It ist not to much, the charcters are still normal persons. It is so much fun. Give it a try and have a lot of fun!

I'm looking forward to a second season!

I loved it from start to finish. The action was great and the acting was lovely. I was hooked from the first episode and couldn't wait to watch the next. A bit dark, exciting, and a great female lead. A few laughs here and there to lighten it up a bit. So disappointed there won't be a second season. I would have absolutely loved to see where they were going to take the story. Such a bummer when they make good shows but they don't stick around. I feel like this show had some new adventure to it, not just a remake of old stories. It was refreshing to have such a strong female lead whose sisters were awesome too.

It feels very much like something from Joss Whedon, music, characters, low key wry humor. I am hoping it continues. Other reviews I read seemed unfavorable for the very reasons I have sited. People who watch a lot of reality shows probably would not appreciate it for the very reasons that I do. Clever, witty, and twists unexpected. The music is rousing and appropriate. I actually want to watch it, not just putting it on in the background while I ride my Peloton or clip coupons. I do not know any of the principle cast, but all seem skilled. I have gotten old. No longer content to waste the time I have left watching dreck. I am very hopeful rhe rest of the season is as entertaining.

Can we speak plainly? When the creators of a series decide to take historical fiction, historical fantasy, and the supernatural -- and throw the entire lot into a Ninja blender set on HI, the result is not going to please everyone. On the other hand, this is entertainment we are talking about, not a medical school entrance exam. So, depending on the viewer, it either works. Or it doesn't. Think of shows like WEDNESDAY or XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS. Good production values, good acting, good writing. Now it is entirely up to you. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer." Please check out my list "167+ Nearly-Perfect Movies (with the occasional Anime or TV miniseries) you can/should see again and again (1932 to the present))

A fantastical tale not to be taken too seriously, loosely structured around a real historical story. However, this is entirely fiction and should be seen as such, unlike some reviews on here. The scripts are tight and the acting consistently high from all with some wonderfully over the top incidental characters to lighten the tone.

Every episode tells a story within a story and keeps moving along at a good pace to keep you entertained and wanting more, with no weak episodes. The whole series wraps up nicely which is a refreshing change these days when most series end with a part of the story untold.

Recommended for when you want a little bit of escapism for your entertainment.
