Sinbad

A half which is good for me! Reminds me of a mix of Black sails and Atlantis. Naveen Andrews from " the cleaning lady" is i it. Lol. I like shows like this! I wish there were more of them but I think I've exhausted them all! Sinbad is annoying ( as was the lead in atlantis and the guy in the supporting role in Black sails but none the less I liked this. I have like 2 episodes left. I'm on my way to google more similar stuff to see what else I can find! I love all king/gueen stuff but glad I didn't pay for the hollow crown! It was spoken in shakespearean language I couldn't take more than 10 minutes of them and i tried them all! Some great actors just couldn't stand the language,

Every now and again you find a gem.

I sat down with my wife to watch this show not really knowing what to expect and immediately thought this could be good. The character build up was excellent leaving you knowing there was a bigger plot in amongst the smaller ongoing adventures.

At first I thought the cast was a bit weak but once they developed you liked each and every one of them, along with the excellent plots the show takes you along on a riveting adventure.

The CGI on the show throughout is of a top notch production and one wonders how they afforded it, all I can say is if you manage to come across this gem, sit down and let yourself be taken into a distant magical land, and enjoy. Oh and don't look to hard for the flaws or you will just ruin it for yourself like it seems previous reviewers have.

I found it entertaining. Good actors and good production values. Much better than the stop-motion B films of yesteryear. In a season when so much seemed recycled, this seemed a fresh take on Sinbad and a fun ride.

Why do I always have to think about Hercules or Xena while watching Sindbad? I think it is because they have many things in common. Easy understandable, not all-to deep stories, nice shooting-locations, not to bad special-effects but bad wardrobe, makeup and hairstyle. Please give me a break. Some of the wardrobe and Hairstyles at this show seem to be right out of the 21st century. I was almost laughing when I saw the Indiana-Jones hat on that bounty-hunter. I don't want to talk about the scene in the casino... That was too bad. Yes I have to agree with another review I have read before. There is totally missing a very attractive female counterpart for Sindbad in this show. I really liked the shooting-locations. Very convincing. The acting is not bad, but also not outstanding. The dialogs are sometimes a bit flat. I really hope that there will be a second season. Why I give 9 stars? I think this show is entertaining and I like to be entertained.

Fun, entertaining escape tv. Actors play well off of one another. Nareen Andrews is especially entertaining. He seems to be enjoying the role and going over the top. Filming location (Malta) gives a realistic backdrop for the program.

The ship's cook is a wonderful dark comic character.

Because it is escapism, I am not particularly concerned with accuracy both mythologically and costumes. Rubber soled shoes, machine stitched clothing doesn't bother me. But the witches gel French manicure is a little to blatant. I could forgive black, green or natural nails but an obvious squoval French manicured...drives me nuts.
