The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerMay 4, 2012
Season 1 Review: The adaption takes liberties with Stevenson's tale that some will find unforgivable. But viewers open to experimentation will enjoy simply seeing if they agree with the choices the filmmakers made in their what-if game. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Multiple battles ensue, most of them pretty tepid, as this Treasure Island kills more time than pirates. Read full review
