Klondike grabs you with terrific performances, an unusually rich script, magnificently sweeping visuals of jagged mountains overlooking valleys of ice and snow, and such a convincing attention to period detail, you'll believe you're back in Dawson City at the end of the 19th century.

Scheuring gets sidetracked by the trite redemption stories of a hooker (Conor Leslie) and a Canadian Mountie (Marton Csokas). But those are small hiccups in this entertaining, expansive tale of one man's fight to keep his humanity, which he discovers is more valuable than all the gold in the Yukon.

In 3 episodes, "Klondike" managed to leave me feeling like I had just watched the finale of a show I have loved for years. The scenery, characters, and plot are all spot on. Here's hoping Discovery Channel can keep up this level of entertainment in their inevitable future in scripted TV.

Not Good - Not Bad.
But not as good as we hoped or expected.
Not sure where the blame should rest ? A rather disjointed affair - with unnecessary peripheral sub-plots/stories. We usually blame the DIrector don't we. But some of the writing seems weak.

Definitely a let down given the cast, the drama-rich setting, and Ridley Scott's involvement. Its a paint by numbers miniseries with a bigger budget.
It has its moments - with this cast, how could you not - but is more miss than hit.

Cowbells review says it all.
A real disappointment considering the art direction, cinematography, scenery, and technical merit. A very dumb, cliche-riddled script made this a grueling experience to watch, even with the aid of fast-forward.

Worst dialogue ever, ranging from the ludicrous to the just plain inane. And while I understand that it's a plot necessity, why out of the thousands of faceless miners is our hero the focus of beautiful women, bad guys, the preacher and everybody else?
