Sinbad

So my new favourite TV show at the moment  is Sinbad. I will hold my hands up I was not sure at first. I saw all the teasers on sky 1, thought fab this will be something like Hercules or xena and I will love it. Then I  watched the pilot and I was a bit meh . . . . However as I have the new fancy TIVO thingy I season linked it and decided to give it another go. I am so glad I did!

Elliot Knight (Who I think I recognise from Hollyoaks although could be wrong - there is no mention of that on his IMDB page) plays our hero. He is rather tasty and happy to announce he takes his top off a lot :)

However its Anwar my inner fan girl is totally screaming for. Dimitri Leonidas is adorable as the doctor who has led a rather sheltered life compared to the others and seems to always be getting into trouble. Where has this actor been hiding? I mean as another blogger (where I found the pic) put it. How can you not love that face??????

Marama Corlett plays Rina - a jewel thief. And if the writers are going the way my fan girl wants them too - Anwars gal. They are so adorable together and the interaction perfect. Rina is scrappy and at the beginning just out for herself.

Elliot Cowan plays Gunnar the ships warrior. He is pretty dam awesome and very funny at times. Dark past as a warrior and very handy with a sword and axe. Also he seems the only one on board bar cook who knows how to raise and knot sails properly. Gunnar seems to do the hard labour most eps bless him.

Estella Daniels plays Nala a noble women who was in the first half of the series and then just disappeared. Not sure why, she had so much more character background to delve into. Perhaps she will be back for season 2. Fingers crossed. Well fingers crossed there will be a season 2. So many cool shows seems to be getting discontinued i.e. defying gravity, Terra Nova and least we forget FIREFLY - FOX WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

And Tuppence Middleton is Tiger - fast becoming Sinbads chicky dee. She joined after Nala left. Called Tiger as she was brought up by Tigers. Tiger has only been in 2 eps so far.

And we have Taryn played by Orla Brady who is the or seems to be the big bad. Although thats kind of debatable now.

And lastly Junix Inocian as cook who is just epic. The only man I know who can put robbers to sleep with food and seduce with Kaffa lime. I also suspect that he's more than he seems. He has not set foot off the boat yet making me wonder if he's actually some magical part of it. Perhaps he is the providence personified or something. Who knows!

I will do some spoilerifc reviews of each ep in some more posts.
