Richard Madden delivers yet again, in an unbelievable environment. Kudos to a young man who researches the potential role and then commits to it. He is such a good actor!

Saw the first episode on the Discovery Channel and immediately ordered the entire series as I enjoyed watching the first episode. My husband and I watched Disc 1 last night and cannot wait to finish watching the entire Disc 2 to find out how the story ends. After reading the harsh reviews written by others, I totally disagree with them and highly recommend this as it is very well acted and the characters are all believable. A very good rendition of a quite interesting time in the Klondike/Dawson City history. It was very exciting to watch and we were caught up by the beautiful cinematography of the Alaskan scenes in the film.

Modern TV doesn’t seem to excite me much. This series definitely held my attention. The ability to show modern day people with the bug for reality TV what, even with some dramatization, reality in the times of the gold rush was truly like was amazing. The full circle that the story takes along with the never ending fight for survival was very well represented.

Rating based on quality of production and story.

Mostly pro's not enough con's for the dramatization to take a star.

If you like history or just have some curiosity of the times and struggle of the men and women that were part of this struggle I would recommend this to you.

Yes,the second dvd in got worked perfectly. I was a little apprehensive to order the second one since the first one from momox what didn't work. By the way I still haven't received my $10.21 back. Do you know if you will be getting a movie titled "Bastille Day" with Richard Madden ? I when to a live production of Romeo and Juliet live from Garrick theater London UK. Love it !

It attempts to portray the actual drama of the gold rush in the Klondike and may come close. My family's experience was different. They stayed away from the houses of ill repute according to their letters that I have.. They were stout Methodists and preserved both their capitol and their virtue, unlike the characters in this show. What was similar was the good will of those that made the effort to travel there under such harsh conditions with such high hopes of success.

It's based on history but isn't a boring narrative. This is a well told story with great acting, that really keeps your interest. I thought it was a series at first, but sounds very much like this is the only season. All loose ends were tied up and history was given on how the lives of those it is based on ended. It's really too bad, because this is one show I would love to have seen more of.

3.0 out of 5 stars Black, skin tight, seamless spandex pants in the Yukon in the 1800's???

All the comments I've read here ... I most certainly agree with.

It was also, VERY hard to ignore the unbelievably gorgeous wardrobes of some of the actors, particularly the character of Bellinda who looked like she stepped out of Kate Middleton's palace. In fact they they could be twins separated at birth, who now have their makeup done by the same professional cosmetologist.

There is a natural beauty in women which is not enhanced by pancake makeup, carefully waxed eyebrows and all the rest. We are supposed to be looking back at History...as it was. Yet, every time one of the perfectly manicured female actors showed up, the "reality" of it was destroyed and I could only stare and wonder how a director such as Ridley Scott or Discovery could have let that happen.

I will finish watching all the episodes because of Tim Roth, the scenery and the educational aspect. This could have been a GREAT series...but Hollywood Glamour reared it's fake face.

I love Richard Madden in Game of Thrones so I decided to watch this. Not only is he handsome, he is also a very good actor. The story is very interesting and has a good message.

La serie è molto bella ma non capisco perché film così interessanti sono solo in inglese, nemmeno i sottotitoli in italiano.
So che non dipende da Amazon ma questa è una grossa limitazione, seguire tutto il film in inglese per me è faticoso.

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic Drama in the Yukon Mountains

This top quality 6 part mini series from The Discovery Channel is
well worth watching. Directed by Simon Cellan Jones with Ridley
Scott as Executive Producer, this is the story of both men and women
who tried to seek their fortunes in the Yukon territory of Canada
during the 1890's.

Richard Madden plays the part of Bill Haskell a young graduate who
along with his boyhood friend Byron Epstein (Augustus Prew) walks
out of his graduation ceremony to seek his fortune in Gold.
The story is played out amidst the majestic and often cruel backdrop
of the Yukon mountains. It is man versus nature, man versus man and
for one man, the character of Bill Haskell, finding the inner strength
to keep some sense of loyalty and morality amidst the morass
of greed, murder and disease (Typhus) in lawless Dawson City. We see
him pal up with a young Jack London (Johnny Simmons) who went on to
become a great writer with such books as White Fang.
Bill loses his best friend to murder, has a bittersweet relationship
with Belinda Mulrooney (Abbie Cornish) along the way, and ultimately
survives the rigours of a gold prospectors life with "a head full
of hope".
Based on the book, Gold Diggers by Charlotte Gray, this is as pretty
much true to the life and times of the era that a film crew can
create in the rain and snow of reality, and Richard Madden played his
heart out in this role, creating a totally believable character,
brilliant.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Released 2013. Runs for approximately 270 minutes,
with a short feature on the making of the series.
DVD on 2 discs.
Recommended.

Voici une exceptionnelle épopée que vous allez vivre en suivant les aventures de personnages REELS ayant participés à la ruée vers l'or dans le Yukon, qui a eu lieu fin XIXème (1897-98) malheureusement trop peu exploité par le cinéma .
On y retrouve Jack London, Bill Haskell, Belinda Mulrooney (qui est nettement moins sexy dans la vraie vie que l'actrice qui joue son rôle...)
Nous avons passé un super moment en vivant à leur côté leur quotidien sans oublier le fil conducteur très prenant qui est la recherche du meurtrier du compagnon de Bill Haskell...
Allez-y les yeux fermés, mini série de très grande qualité (Ridley Scott).
