    The story is interesting and conveys the trials of the Pilgrims and the others but I had a very hard time getting beyond the straight white teeth and shiny clean hair of the actors as well as the healthy looking Pilgrims who were supposidly starving to death. I also had issues with the sailors who had no fresh water on the ship that was anchored just off shore.

    While appropriately grimy given the 1620s, rural North America setting (Although it was filmed in South Africa), the dour deprivation depicted proves dull over the miniseries’ first two hours.

    Most impressively, Saints & Strangers allows the Native Americans to speak in their own languages, with subtitles. That alone makes the miniseries as realistic as any depiction of the Plymouth Colony seen on screen.

    Saints & Strangers is rich in character and detail and captures how arduous this adventure was for the pilgrims.
