I wanted to like itI wanted to like it. I even watched the first five episodes just to see if it would get better. But it was just one terrible half-baked plot after another. It got really bad when the "bonding" between characters started to happen, as if that would somehow make the viewer forget all the terrible writing. Each episode is poorly written and feels like a jumbled mess. Before the main story has even begun to evolve, various random and segmented side stories seem to pop and fizz from nowhere in some attempt to add depth, but it just jumbles everything even more. I love BBC productions like The Musketeers, and even Merlin was worthwhile (despite being a bit cheesy), but this was bad enough that I'm not going to finish it.

It's the story of Sinbad not an epic novelPeople giving this low reviews obviously don't understand that it's like a fairy tale, Sinbad the Sailor. It's meant to be lighthearted and adventurous and this series achieves that purpose. It's not meant to be a deep story or meant to be realistic. It's a myth.
People need to get over themselves thinking every single series is supposed to be some epic that satisfies them in every way. Some things are made to just be fun to watch and Sinbad doesn't disappoint.

its watchableits not to bad i would give it 3.5 stars. in a nut shell its a lot like hercules or zena type show only not as good. its not a fun show like those and there isnt any comic relief. i watched the whole season and ive seen much worse. the writing lacks anything clever is a little on the poor side, . it is a fantasy show so dont expect anything to be like real life. maybe if there is a season 2 the writing will be improved and there is a lot of room for it.

It would've been a great seriesThe first episode was great and while the other episodes were great as well, the characters' back stories and history felt rushed. Usually shows focus on the main character's history and their bond with other characters before delving into their past. However, it's almost as if this show was limited to only a season and all the character backstories were condensed into it.
Preston SmithReviewed in the United States on March 13, 20223.0 out of 5 stars
It all happens too fast.If you took this show and gave it a second season with 12 more episodes, and spread the character development and relationship building over more adventures, everything would make more sense. It feels too rushed, especially important character building plot points, and even just the plot in general. I really enjoyed the show for what it is, but what it is, is just another show with a lot of potential that died in 2012.
