I'm watching this right now


I did not like Timothy Bottoms acting at all. To compare him to Raymond Massey is like comparing Orson Welles to ...to well... anybody else. These men could act. I have nothing against Timothy Bottoms but in this role he left me cold. I adore Soon Tek Oh. I always enjoy his performances.

And Jane Seymour, well what can anyone say about her. She was and still is THE BOMB!!!She gave an excellent performance.

I was hoping for the best, but disk one of this series was horrible. The acting was so bad. I'm skipping to disk three where the James Dead version picked up.

I just finished the series with disk three. Awful, awful, awful! The acting especially by the Bottoms was pathetic. If the pace had been any slower, it would have upset a snail. Gawd! What were the producers and the director thinking!

Well,it's 2016 and I'm watching it on youtube and all I can say is Timothy Bottoms is still the worst actor in this show. I enjoy Jane Seymour and all the others but give me a break. Every time he juts his chin out and opens his eyes, he overacts. Oh brother.
