The River About the crew of a state-of-the-art research vessel on a quest to find a missing TV explorer in the Amazon. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1836195/

I gave this series a try and was pleasantly surprised. So far there have been two eps and I'm definitely gonna wanna see more.

I heard it had good ratings, but not splendid.

Most attention seemed to be focused on the 200th episode of NCIS last night.

Give it a try, I'll be interested to read your opinion.

The initial reviews on IMDB do not seem to be very good.

I have been looking forward to this show, but for me it was terrible.
From the dialog, to the lack of any character development (blocks of wood could show more depth of emotion than these actors),this felt like something the SYFY channel would air...past midnight. If it had been filled with anymore cliches, It could have been part of the 'Scary Movie' franchise. This is an example of premise not living up to promise. With a massive reworking, I'm sure it could have been a hit, but for me it's water logged and seriously let down.

Who cares what some incerebral failure living in his momma's basement thinks. I like it so far and that's good enough for me.

Hmmm... but can you be sure about it.

I am watching this now and having a major flashback to The Blair Witch Project.

Be careful - people have been known to die from the sheer awfulness of the Blair Witch Project...

It has creepy dolls hanging in jungle trees at night with lots of shaky cam. I'm sure it will find its audience but I don't think I'm going to make time for this one.

That is an insult to this show. The Blair Witch sucked from start to finish.

Was the 2nd episode an improvement over the pilot?

You guys are always so quick to judge. Give a show a chance for a change.
