I'm somewhat very surprised not to a single comment on this Great T,V Show from the 90's.
I know some of you think it was Predictable, and through four not worth a watch, However, I disagree, This was a great work of Art, They actually used a Replica of a ship that once sailed the channel herself.
About the Ship TRUK
One of the ships used for the film was "The Grand Turk" which is a working replica of a 1790s man-o-war that makes yearly trips throughout Europe and winters in the city of Whitby, England. It was specially built for 'Hornblower', and painted black and buff on one side, and black and red on the other, so that it could double as a British or French ship, depending on the angle it was filmed from.

A Most enjoyable trip down Memorie lane, Great Show, and Thank You to all that Entertained us.
Thank You, I loved the Show and Still do till this day.
Real people playing versions of themselves in a real story is what makes this art film stand out. A young and gifted rodeo star suffers a concussion and must face the reality of the situation with his hard drinking father and mentally challenged sister (who also play themselves in the film).
As haunting as a lone cowboy's ghost on a long ride down a trail that leads nowhere.
The amateurish acting is distracting and endearing. The landscapes are mundane and immense. The emotions are personal and universal. I left the cinema steeped in memories of moments I'd never lived, like carrying a tattered postcard from another life in the back pocket of my oldest pair of jeans.
Made in 1978 and 100 times funnier than some of the crap they put out today.
Just finished watching the pilot and I have to say, WOW!! This show is so much better than other sci-fi/space related shows that came out earlier this year. The first show has gripped me and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the reason. Do NOT pass this up. Must watch even if you aren't a fan of space related shows!!
Limited series on Netflix that blows your mind. Binge watching worthwhile. 7 épisodes well directed, great story, stunning costumes ans soundtrack.
I read this comment about the movie which said "It felt like reading a good book, which is the highest compliment I can give to a film." and I couldn't be more precise .
