Sinbad (2012) Premieres on Sky One on July 08, 2012

An epic fantasy that stars newcomer Elliot Knight in the title role, alongside Naveen Andrews (Lost), Orla Brady (Mistresses. Strike Back), Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda) and Timothy Spall (Secrets and Lies, Harry Potter).

The 12-part series opens with Sinbad banished from his homeland of Basra and cast out to sea on The Providence following the death of his much-loved brother. Now Sinbad must embark on an epic quest to rid himself of the curse placed on him by his own grandmother (Janet Suzman), and embrace his new destiny.

On board The Providence, an intriguing band of travellers are thrown together, including taciturn Norwegian sailor Gunnar (Elliot Cowan), lithe jewel-thief Rina (Marama Corlett), and haughty Nala (Estella Daniels). Completing the ship's complement are the eccentric Cook (Junix Inocian), and the ship's cerebral doctor Anwar (Dimitri Leonidas).

Sinbad throwing the fight at the start to get better odds was impressive but at the cost of his brother life which was tragic and that was a close call on the boat

Was about to watch the second episode but the audio description was too much so I must find another copy as it's not on Sky go's any-time + yet

codebreaker

Sinbad and his crew find themselves captured by a bunch of children was amusing but with Sinbad's curse he was worried about standing on land and who would of thought that saving the dragon would come back and save him

I would imagine we will see the dragon again even if it's to give them some more wind in their sails

codebreaker

Anwar gambling with the ship was crazy and bumping into Rina in the gaming house was amusing but she did the right thing in the end after Sinbad winning it back which was a little predictable

codebreaker

There were some interesting hallucinations but Nala thinking she could bring her dead father back was a little bizarre

Amusing decoy for Sinbad to escape and Gunnar's past coming back to haunt him was interesting and who would of thought his selfless act in helping Sinbad would save his own life

The woman that rescued Sinbad from the sea was obviously to good to be true but she did help him get past the curse that time and Rina saving him with her memories was great

codebreaker

The curse was linked to his bad memory which she lifted but he wanted his memory back including the bad so the curse is back

codebreaker

Sinbad's attempt to rescue his grandmother was interesting but I had a felling she wouldn't survive, breaking the curse was great

This has now been added to the flash site

I'm surprised the lit touch on the deserted shipwreck island wasn't a trap and how did Kuji survive in that box for 35 years without water but why didn't they take her when they removed all their weapons but the lesson she shown Anwar was interesting

codebreaker

So why did she ask for water and eat like she was starving

codebreaker

A reasonable theory, similar to a genie in a bottle

The stone that shows visions of the future was interesting but seeing who is going to kill you would be scary, the gymnastic moves was a little over the top but another cursed collar for Sinbad is a little crazy
