This series was one of three adventure series that I watched when I was a child, besides Xena and Hercules. The first season was lighter. I was fallen for this series, as soon as I had watched the first episode. The casts were talented, except Maeve, who has so-so acting skill. However, Sinbad and her have kind of dynamic and interesting relationship. I agree that they had great chemistry, even they only kissed once and the rest was just "eyes communication".The second season, just like the first season, also has great potential. I'm not Maeve fan, so I still followed this season. However, unfortunately, I lost the feeling that I had gotten in first season. Bryn's acting skill was much better than Maeve, but Sinbad and her didn't have such a chemistry as the previous cast. This season was darker but it was not interesting anymore. This season, obviously, had a huge hole in the storyline, if you try to connect its story with the end of the first season. Maeve's departure was such a big loss for this series. Most of my favorite quotes ever from this series came from the first season. Personally, I prefer the first season and based from the series rating, I believe most audiences agree with me.Of course, this series has some weakness. The special effect, the setting, and some of the plot stories were ridiculous and just kept repeating. Sinbad kissed almost all of the females cast so it kinda boring. But then, I wouldn't expect more from this series in 1996. I won't compare it with 'high-quality story or expensive special effect' series, but this series still good to watch. Anyway, the Maeve theme song (which was played in most of Sinbad-Maeve scenes) was so memorable, and I still remember it until now.

I for one love the first season. Maeve and Sinbad were so adorable.Too bad their romantic scenes together were very few. Well, I guess thats what kept me watching just to see their love slowly grow. Their romance wasn't too mushy or draggy. It could have used at least two more kissing scenes and much more hugging ones. Not so much that they are always all over each other. I was just extremely disappointed about not being able to see Maeve and Sinbad together in the 2nd season. I was expecting more development in their character as well as their romance. :(Yes the special effects and fighting were very cheesy, but the story and cast did a great job. I watched a bit of the 2nd series and it was a dramatic change to Sinbad, and then they added Bryn. Bryn was alright, but just couldn't compare to Maeve. I just couldn't ever finish the 2nd season. I was still too hooked on Sinbad x Maeve as a couple. Yes, I'm hopeless romantic and darn proud of it.I agreed with some of the comment about there being several other seasons (least 5). They had so much they could have done to the series. They could have made it great. Some quote from the series: Sinbad: "The way I look at it, this world is growing a little too civilized for me. It's growing up. Growing serious. Growing dull. But out there who knows what worlds await." Maeve: What do you want me to do? You can't just point your finger at the thing and yell 'stop' and it stops! giant freezes Sinbad: Nice work. Maeve: Oh, well maybe you can.

Yeah, I admit it; when this series aired I used to catch it on my lunch break every so often. It's really a kids adventure show, and not meant to be anything more than that. Shot in, I believe, South Africa, the show had a kind of campy appeal to it. Every time Sinbad and crew arrived at a "new" village, it was actually the same old village they'd built for the show, only shot at a different angle.As usual Sinbads "Arab" origins are veiled by Anglo actors due to demographics... oh well. Myself, I think the show would've done just as well with a culturally authentic cast. It is after all a show for kids, and kids are pretty forgiving when it comes to perceptions. But that's neither here nor there.The CGI and other effects were what they were, and the plots were pretty basic. The acting, for what the show was, was passable. I found it to be good mindless fun as I chowed down a salad in front of the tube.If it ever comes to DVD, and by that I mean a good quality transfer and not some knockoff, then I'll buy a copy.

This is one of those shows that you love, but the only people you tell are your best friends. It was funny, adventurous, exciting, and had terrific cast. It was sad when Maeve left the show, because everything went downhill from there. One thing I loved was the way the special effects resembled the old Sinbad movies. This was a highly underated TV program. If it ever comes on in syndication, I suggest everyone watch at least one episode (preferably from season one).
