Really Surprised!

Perfect cast and a good story

Just perfect...

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I love this show. Amazon is one my my favorite TV shows. I would like to see continuation. I know there was script of 2nd season but only few people saw it :( My best character is Karen. I would like to know what happen with her after last episode... I hope she will survive.I like idea of Chosen and Morag's cannibals :) Great idea :) My best episode is "Escape" , "Home" and "White Which". These episodes are very thrilling. Hmm.. I wish Mr. Peter Benchley wrote about ending of this show... I wish... Doeas somebody have e-mail to Mr. Benchley? :)I like shows and movies about survivors and castaways. I also like LOST, Blue Lagoon, Castaway, Robinson Crusoe :) Amazon is the first show not about island.. but about Amazon rain forest :)

This was on TV late last night. I thought it was pretty bad. The episode started off with a flashback, revealing a plane crash/midair collision that goes on far too long, almost to the point of comedy. (It hits the other plane...gets torn apart...plummets...crashes...separates...rolls over...falls over a ravine...rolls around some more...come on already!) Then we see a naked woman swimming in water and an alligator comes in after her. She makes a lot of noise and splashes and tells it to go away. It goes away.She finds a life jacket and suddenly she's teary-eyed. Quick cut to a scene with post-fame C. Thomas Howell (now looking old and out of breath) asking, "Where did she go?" Cut back to the woman (now mysteriously wearing clothes) standing with the life preserver around her rambling on about the airline.It only gets worse after this.It's either based on a book or concept by Peter Benchley. I don't know, I didn't bother to figure out if it's a book because I hate Benchley's novels; JAWS is one of the worst I've ever read (the movie is ironically one of the best), insulting and childish with poor character development and bad dialogue; his other books are mostly even worse.He has a lot of bad ideas in his head. This TV show is one of them.

This an amazing show! Rarely do I even bother getting involved in TV show fandom, but I will for "Amazon". OK, so it started out a little schlocky, with the fake blood and rubber snakes and all. But frankly, I found the concept of the "Ghost Tribe" fantastic! Stranger things have happened in the real world. The show's characters, show more depth and development as the show progresses. From the survivors like the spoilt but tender Pia, the angst adolescent Will, or aggressive but learning Dr Kennedy to the tribes people like the ever popular Falconer John, the feisty witch Prudence or the passionate widow Hekka. It taps into my lost in a jungle meet a renaissance village fantasy! And speaking as a Generation-X Asian-American, I choose to support the multicultural cast native "Spider-tribe" also, and the show's attempt to present both their hostile and compassionate sides. With the storyline linear, presenting increasingly complex interactions between all of the above groups and cultures, I think the show displays far more creativity and thoughtfulness than quite a few of the top network shows. But I'm not looking for "Star Trek" special effects or PC attitude, j ust good entertainment. And despite any of the aformentioned criticism, for me, "Amazon" just keeps going and going.

I saw the first episode last night (in Toronto we get it later) and I thought it was really cool. It was entertaining and interesting. The crash scene was done really well and the sound stage is absolutely amazing. I am kind of concerned about how they're going to drag on the plot line throughout an entire series without repeating too much and without making it another Gilligan's Island. We'll just have to watch and find out. From what I've seen so far, I give it an A+.
