The performances of Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd was outstanding. They are worth watching. With the script, I am not a keen fan of movies that depict evil psychotics with twisted minds. I did not rate this as a top movie.

This was an exceptional show. I did not realise until I watched this series, how little I knew of the mad king, George iii. I thought he was just some lunatic who pestered people. In fact he was a person with mental problems that can be treated today. In the movie, King George iii, played brilliantly by Corey Myltheest, was savagely mistreated by his doctor. His saving grace was his wife, Queen Charlotte. A strong performance for this role was played by India Amarteifio as the young Queen and Golda Rosheuvel as the older Queen. Further strong performances were put in by Michelle Fairley, as the King's mother and Adjoa Andoh as Lady Agatha Danbury. This is a classical romance between King George iii and Queen Charlotte that lasted over 50 years. Social issues are tastefully covered also. Queen Charlotte was bi-racial in real life as well as in the movie. Also, a gay romantic relationship is displayed with warmth. I will definitely watch a second series and strongly recommend viewers watch this series. It is a true story with fiction added to it.

Episode 1 showed promise. Throughout, the scenery was first class. Unfortunately it stopped there. The storyline was weak. Episode 5 was totally confusing. In Episode 6, the ending was just dumb. One unbelievable part was the actors being able to carry 20 to 30 bars of gold with little effort. Given that 1 bar weighs around 12 kilos, that means each person wa as carrying around 240 kilos to 360 kilos. That is most unlikely. The makers of this movie should choose another profession

A very pleasant romance that is easy to watch.

A powerful performance by David Gulpilil and Gary Sweet. The ending was really good. A movie well worth watching.

It clarifies in one's mind how brutal early Tasmania was, and gives an insight into how all the indigenous people were murdered.
