Too complicated and tries too hard to be a Hollywood bollywood pot boiler

Like a Bollywood pot boiler...the conclusion is foregone - there is no evidence because the meteor destroyed it all. The question that was asked through out the series - this ice age civilization - still unanswered as to where they originated from. How did they travel from their yet unknown origin to the 4 corners of the world simultaneously to oversee the building of monuments which would have taken decades to build - unanswered. If it was a common source of knowledge - how come it missed being spread to the whole continent of Africa and two really old civilizations of the Indian subcontinent and China - unanswered. While the individual theories are interesting and the link to astronomy seems plausible, the constant deriding of archeology as a profession in every episode made it sound like a conspiracy rant - made it less credible than it could have been. Entertaining, in parts informative but low on credibility simply because it keeps saying it is credible!!!!

A light-hearted movie but one with a lesson. It could have been melodramatic, over the top with a stereotypical portrayal of a Muslim family. But it stayed away from pontificating. Lessons of grit and determination, knowing the craft, being confident and a lot of other skills that my 12 year old enjoyed watching.

For someone who doesn't have a view to life in Saudi at all, this was an interesting series. How much of this is reality based and how much is a fictional view of the society I don't know but it was clean, fun watch.

Gutsy, resilient, devil may care.. excellent portrayal by the lead actor. Not a very good example to follow in Covid times but well made movie

For someone who is not British, this is an interesting if not entirely convincing picture of 1920s landed gentry. The characters are well crafted, develop well and are adeptly portrayed. The jousts between the Dowager and Mrs Crawley are a feast for the senses. There are a a few storylines which drag on and on and most have to do with the Bates'. But all in, definitely binge worthy!

Interesting but everything is far from being even remotely realistic. As compared to most other British crime dramas - this one is the most Americanised.... Unrealistic plots, over the top acting by Alba in many cases...Still watchable just because it is so implausible.

The story telling is masterful and the actors are beyond brilliant. It is just not binge worthy as it is too emotionally intense.

What a movie.. powerful, moving, humourous, frustrating - all at the same time. Sheer genius

It's like soul food...warm, comforting and utterly binge worthy
