Let me start by saying, the photography and the location is absolutely beautiful. The actors in this series are amazing. The realism is spot on. The Polynesian language is unique. There is no language that compares. Which kind of leads me into the meat of this review. First, IMDB list the language as English. It's not. Not one word of English is spoken in this series. I like realism. If it weren't for the subtitles I would never have had a clue to what they were saying. If the intent of the series is to cater to the Polynesian speaking audience, way to go. But for us that don't speak the language or even understand it, it really falls short. There should have been a dubbed version of the series, which would have made it more watchable. My suggestion is, "know your audience".
Just finished watching this mini-series. I love historical series and this one was one on my "must watch" list.
The story was well, written. Douglas did a fair job as Franklin. Some of the episodes were a bit dreary, but finally came to a fine finale.
I should also like to think that Douglas, could personally learn from doing this series, as his personal politics needs an overhaul. I would like for him to understand what America is about and what it stands for, and not cheap political shots. We can only hope that what Franklin accomplished, did not go down in vain. Long live the United States of America.
