Didn't realize this had been made as a series, but it shows when watching it as a full film. It might have worked if they'd got some serious editing done first. It drags on and on for hours to the point that what was interesting becomes boring. Gave it 4 because other than the tedium it was well made.

View Morenot better than others. not worst. only new adventures in a new frame. for fans of Peter Pan - a must see. for the others - good occasion to discover a prequel who did few explanations, who use magic and the enthusiastic young characters for a trip in essence of a well known story, same fascinating, seductive and charming. it is difficult to say anything about "Neverland" . bad or good. because it has an interesting start point of story - Dickens would be proud as source of memories - and the technology did a great job. but the film has not the force to be a revelation. decent acting, nice adventures. and nothing else. but enough for a nice evening after a work day.
... View MoreI've give my rating a four because of the acting ability from all of the actresses and actors, I think they played their part well how ever I was not impressed by this series. What I wasn't impressed about was the story plot as a whole, it seemed like a fan fiction of when Peter meets Fagan who turns into captain hook.Peter was an orphan just like Oliver twist who happens to meet Fagan but instead he's named Hook. In the real story Peter wasn't an orphan, his parents were very much alive and he flew away to Kensington Gardens after hearing of his adult life. A fairy is born from a baby's laugh and Peter was 7 days old when he lived in Kensington Gardens, and Tinkerbell was born by his laugh. The TV series Neverland seemed to have forgot this and forgot the true story. I was very disappointed the true magic of Neverland wasn't portrayed.I think this TV series was another care of another classic being eroded away and the author's work being forgotten.
... View MoreI have watched everything in history about Peter Pan. I loved many versions and even enjoyed the history of how the story was created. But, this is absolutely my favorite of them all! This actually has depth and emotion. This explains many of the unanswered questions we all have when we watch the "Disney" version. This takes the fairy tale gloss off the finished product, but yet still has that fantasy flair and imagination.It never surprises me that high quality production, story, and acting gets overlooked and this never took off into further production. With passing time, the actors and production staff are getting older and into other projects.... oh how I wish people would spread the news about this great series and get it brought back or even better yet.... to the big screen. WE NEED A MORE GRITTY AND A DEEP PETER PAN! I was left wanting more!
