I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THIS WHOLE SET AND IT WAS FANTASTIC! I JUST WISH THAT THE NETWORK HADN'T CANCELLED THIS B/C IT REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LONGER RUN! MAYBE THEY COULD DO A SECONDARY FILM TO FINISH THE SET, LIKE THEY DID WITH ANOTHER AWESOME CANCELLED SERIES CALLED "FIREFLY" AND "SERENITY"(WAS THE MOVIE FOLLOW-UP). GREAT TALES OF SHIPWRECKED CRUSOE ALONG WITH HIS FRIEND "FRIDAY" WHO IS ALSO A NON-NATIVE TO THE ISLAND. PIRATES......WOMEN.......MORE PIRATES, ETC. A GREAT FANTASTICAL ADVENTURE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY-VERY G OR PG FAMILY ORIENTED! A MUST HAVE!
I bought this because the way the series was bounced around on TV I didn't get to watch all episodes. I also bought it because I thought it extremely well done unlike so much of the drivel that floods the airwaves these days. It's a story of a beautiful friendship and familial betrayal with the central plot being a man trying to return to his wife and children. All that being said, I wish the creators would have spent much more time educating the viewer (what? wasn't that the intent of television in the first place?) in all the ways to survive on a deserted island. Crusoe's habitat was a place of jungle splendor and made me want to be a child again. All in all, good stuff.
I like the book, the original. But the movie is nothing like the book. If you like the dramatic stuff that is not original to the book you might like it, my husband does. I personally do not, when I read the book I want it to stay true to the book.
