Matt Nguyen When I saw the trailer/promo for this show, I knew I wanted to watch it. You don't see very many horror television shows, but this one proved that the genre can be a success if done right. With an appealing cast and twisted story, "The River" creates an awesome show to watch. I think that a lot more could have been done with the show if given the chance.Each episode delivered more mystery and suspense with heart-stopping moments. The characters are also easy to relate to as their stories are developed. I don't remember much about this show except for the fact that it was awesome!If I'm not mistaken, I think the show ended with a scene of the river and the land around it constantly changing so that the travelers could never get out. That was a good cutoff that should have been continued.I wouldn't recommend this for the faint of heart, as it is definitely not for them. If you are a fan of horror or if you just want a good scare, watch "The River"!

leninhamarrana You would expect Steven Spielberg not to lend its name to just about anything but with this pathetic excuse of a series it seems to be the case. It has a promising start, an interesting plot but it just keeps getting worse and worse. They choose the Amazon river for scenario but forget to check what language is spoken there and simply go along with Spanish. Well, in Brazil people speak Portuguese. Would it be so hard to find actors that speak Portuguese instead of Spanish? The girl that seems to know everything about the local legends and myths happens to be Venezuelan which is quite far away from the Amazon. And the colonizers are British, when no British has ever set foot near the amazon river. Only Portuguese and Spanish. It is just a big insult to Brazil and Latin Americans in general, as if all countries and people are one big blur. All of this would be more easily tolerated if the plot was any good but is terrible. Absolutely awful. Truly a ridiculous series.

Yaiba2811 This show is so amazing! It gets better and better each episode. I've been watching a lot of spirit horror movies. Anh this TV show is the best of them that i've ever seen in my entire life. You don't know what coming next. When you are watching it, you can't take your eyes off the movie, thing that i do sometime even when watching Breaking Bad or other good shows, because the whole episodes are so exciting and fascinating, it's totally awesome. Cast is great too. Some people got dizzy because of the camera, or just don't like it but i find it very creative. If you get used to it, then the show has nothing to complain about. I also love Eloise Mumford, she's so pretty. So excited for the next season, it's gonna be great.

hollywoodpimp Was really enjoying this show, was somewhat slow paced at first but got interesting and kept me into it.... however as the first season ends (only 8 episodes) I really thought it got worse and the final two episodes just got somewhat stupid and I was at the point where I almost shut it off and gave up, but figured may as well watch the remainder. With the mixture of "Lost" storytelling and "Paranormal Activity", well it soon became "the exorcist" in the finale, far fetched and just plain stupid I thought. I doubt this series will be renewed for a second season, if it is I won't bother watching it, what looked like a promising good series ending up being a disappointment for me.
