Set in 17th-century Virginia, this drama series follows the lives of the first settlers in the English colony of Jamestown. Alice, Verity and Jocelyn arrive ready to marry three men in the colony who have paid for the women's transition to the New World. But upon their arrival, they quickly recognize the power struggles within the nascent community, which reach all the way up to the new governor and his staff. The women soon realize that they will need to rely on each other if they hope to survive the various challenges their new home presents to them.

Great show for PBS/SKY etc. The characters are endearing, the villains are menacing, the plot…a little ridiculous but entertaining enough.

I LOVED it. When it ended I was sad that it was over. The story was excellent and each character was fully developed. Although it was a historical fiction soap opera, and most of the characters, were figments of the writer's fertile, imagination, there was a lot to be learned about America's past interactions with the aboriginal people of the area.

Seems impressed with itself. acting is passable, but storyline, especially women's roles, is poor. appears as a prime-time soap.

Absolutely stunning. This script is brilliantly written. If you read the critical reviews these are more dependable than audience ratings.

Watching this as a US citizen and having grown up under an educational system that pretty much operates as if History started with Jamestown I could not suspend my disbelief at the creative liberties (or corners cut maybe) in terms of character dialogue, motivations, etc. The show seems to be making a valiant effort at imitating "girl power" & "feminism" in their storyline but ironically; without really putting any work into considering how the women at the time may have ACTUALLY attempted to subvert male dominance and sexism in the colony. Was not surprised to see that the only writing credit on IMDB went to one dude. The female dialogue of the show seemed to be someones best impression of what a strong woman sounds like and fails to understand why that isn't enough to make her more than 2-Dimensional. That said. Technical aspects of the show are beautiful. Make-up is beautiful, landscape is beautiful, camera framing and shots are spot on. I feel bad for the rest of the crew the writer didn't have as much heart in the project or the message of the show as the rest of them. Worth watching simply to marvel in awe that networks outside of lifetime in 2020 are still willing to throw $$$ at these thinly veiled gimmicky fluff pieces trying to pass off harlequin romance as a progressive and empowering storyline when theres sooooo many talented people with real POV trying to get discovered
