Lack of good storyline.

disgusting, overrated, pointless

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I was quite excited by this. I thought Sinbad would lend itself well to TV. I do find it very watchable and will finish the series, although I am constantly reminded of its faults:The acting and directing are poor. The acting is hammy and overblown and brings to mind old BBC series' from the late 80s and 90s. The fight scenes are laughable and the action sequences look cheap and badly done. Not at all convincing. Think cheap Bollywood without any special effects or cables making people fly.This is VERY 'family'. The BBC Radio 4 accents, the tame fight scenes, the overly simple plots...it's so...mild......and incredible shallow. The characters are all out of the BBC 1992 hero scrap book and they have no depth at all. The plots are all very simple, poorly written and with really bad endings. Like they were written on the bus on the way to filming.It is a watchable series, especially while you're doing something else! I have it on while I'm working to be honest. Whenever I watch it properly I am constantly reminded that I'm watching a very low budget, poorly done programme that is in a totally different league to big budget shows.

It's no surprise Sky 1 didn't go for a second season. I have yet to come across one honest good review (not the ones publicists are paid to post). The acting was awful, very staged and cartoon-like. There's not much of a story either. Basically Sinbad must stay at sea in order to not get strangled to death by a collar he wears due to some curse. Still if there was a better cast in place it could be an enjoyable series. Look at Lord of the Rings for example, not much of a story there either, but because the acting is good it's engaging.Perhaps this series was targeted for a much younger audience, but even my 6 year old lost interest after the second episode. It's a real shame, I was looking forward to seeing this television series, particularly because it was shot entirely in Malta.

indeed really a low level and cheap TV-series, I watched whole of it but episode after episode i was really disappointed !! :|Very very poor storyline and plot, poor acting, . . . Director !?!? Writer !??? Cast !?? Seriously !!! AWEFULLbut the graphic techniques & computer animations were OK !!original idea of this TV-seris was quite interesting and having lots of adventures . . . would attract lots of attention but with this directing and casting and playing !! that's a petty !!! ;\in my opinion, even a TV Channel wants to fill the air time shouldn't make things like that which really let viewers down and change their judgment about that channel for choosing it and watching it futureas the very last sequence of last episode, it made a spark and hope and kinda sound like it's gonna be continued and there will be another seasons but I strongly suggest to the this channel to NOT continue AT ALL this TV-seristhank

I love this TV series. But i'm disappointing about one thing. There should be a female character as a Sinbad's fiancée. Like Robin Hood and Marian. Should include some romance for the story. Rina is not enough for that. That's the part i'm missing in this drama. I was ready to go a long way to enjoy this show, but even leaving aside the not so great stories, I cannot ignore the unbelievable inaccuracies. Apparently in ancient Persia they had plimsoles, high heels, twenties style costumes and roulette! Come on guys, the show could be so much better, but you'll have to try a lot harder. Brilliant series indeed really enjoying it too.
