I still can't get this TV-show out of my head. It was good. It was well-done. It was engaging. Such a shame that it has been closed! I hope it will be continued one day, somehow :) Loved the plot, the actors, the thrill of it. Again, hope this one will be revived! Fingers crossed.

In 2012, a new TV show aired on ABC called "The River;" amongst the constant release of "found-footage" horror films, or those mixed with traditional film, it seemed only fitting that a television series be made too, since these movies were so popular. Sadly, "The River" was canceled after only 8 episodes, and in these 8 episodes (produced by legend Steven Spielberg) we were introduced to a place where everything we know is wrong. "The River" is centered around an expedition into the Amazon, where TV show host, role model, and father Emmett Cole (Bruce Greenwood) went missing after his 22-year of the Undiscovered Country, a TV series that involved him and his family traversing the wild. Lincoln (Joe Anderson), his mother Tess (Leslie Hope) and some of the old crew of the Undiscovered Country then begin searching for Emmett, who's last position was on the Boiuna, a part of the Amazon that mysteriously vanishes into dense forest."The River" is easily one of the most entertaining, thrilling television shows ever made, as its strong cast, great visuals, sleek directing and creativity create an engrossing atmosphere and characters that you love and ones you love to hate. I have no clue why this was canceled because there was so much potential for this show to be something extraordinarily great; a cross between Lost and Prometheus, except Prometheus is getting a sequel. Now, I would recommend this show to everyone because it is something truly different, and full of cerebral scares (and a few jump scares), but because of the way it's filmed I cannot; some people can't handle the "found-footage" angles and shots. But those willing to watch, mainly those who love sci-fi/mystery/horror, will not be sorry. Hopefully someone can get the guys at ABC or whoever to use Kickstarter to bring back The River.9/10 Stars

This seems to be Lost all over again. Some actors are good and they really do a good job, some of them are just BAD. And I mean bad. The way the show suppose to be, a kind of Docu, is some kind of stupid and sometimes just funny. Have you ever seen a Docu with flashbacks!!!? Andthe storyline is just not good at all. I think it is a kind of a weekend project, where the writer/s were in rush. Cooked up a history and make a show out of it. And come on Lost was good, but it ended really bad and again stupid. They should not do it all over again. So I gave it 1 of 10 and that just because of Bruce and Thomas. They try and sometimes when you try so hard you make things bad than they were to begin with. In the E2 Lincoln finds his Teddy Bear and he takes it with himself. He insists that they have to leave the camp because something grabs him and he means that is a phantom. Have you ever seen a 30 years old gay nagging about his Teddy Bear and just wants to take it with himself. What do you want to do with it, play after more than 30 years or what? or in the same Episode there is this girl wants to tell the story about a girl whom dead in the river. She can't stop smiling while she tells the story and this suppose to scare us. Come on. Just STUPID and awful

Don't waste your life on this rubbish ... Half way through part 2 I was already thinking I need to turn this off and do something more interesting and trim my toenails or something Can somebody please tell these idiots that it is no good trying to make something without getting a writer with more than one brain cell before starting ... This one had obviously seen Cannibal Holocaust at some stage and decided to use one of the concepts from that to base a series ... Cretin .. That's the only word word that comes to mind ... Mind you the word repeats itself when it comes to ABC who produced this nonsense ... One presumes someone there can read a script before it gets the go ahead .. Though maybe not these days Badly acted ... Badly shot ( if that's the right word for it ) ... And written by an imbecileCut your toenails folks ... Its much more productive
