Am now halfway through box set of Series 2 on NowTV and loving every minute of it! I am addicted to historical drama / fiction but if you are expecting much accuracy in 'Jamestown' then forget it. The acting quality ranges from excellent to poor but any shortcomings are compensated for by the attractive ensemble cast and lush photography that makes full use of the stunning scenery - this show is beautiful to look at. It's very easy to become totally involved in the life of the characters as this is purely and simply a soap opera in fancy dress. Don't bother to analyse - switch off your brain for 50 minutes sit back and enjoy!

Not everything has to follow the history books, though i normally prefer that it does, I have run out of anything decent to watch and have found that this is well acted, and filmed.

I am absolutely in love with this series! I hope they keep it coming until it's inevitable end. All of the characters have their own individual backrounds and stories and always leave you yearning to learn more. Would definitely recommend giving it a watch.

Seriously, the acting is not bad, I have seen worse. The fact that there are anachronisms aplenty and a serious dumbing down of history for UK audiences is tolerable. That the misogyny among the British is shown, but the even deeper misogyny among the native Americans is not, is OK to. That the British are seen as stealing land, but the native tribes there, who were recent arrivals after killing proceeding native tribes is not mentioned? OK as well.That the three lead women are dressed as they are, in clean clothes and clean personal hygiene is ridiculous, OK there too. The premise of the three women, especially the absurd outright conniving of the lead blonde is hilariously shallow. But, sure why not.That the really bad guy, is the guy with scars is the straw that breaks the camels back. it is ironic how such hamfisted and acrobatic political correctness makes the person with disability or disfigurement the bad guy over and over.
