Nautilus is a highly watchable and enjoyable drama, if your a fan of fantasy or JV then watch. If you need some escapism then watch ...
Imagine the scene, a writers room with the walls plastered with nots, maybe a few lush images of what the submarine could look like to inspire, and somebody calls out
'I need a joke here ...'
the comedian brought in to support srirs from his email and leans in he make a quip - down in the script it goes as nobody can actually remember what went before.
5 minutes later the cabin boy needs a line 'a line for the cabin boy' ... nobody can think of anything so he gets to speak to the dog again.
Nautilus feels like it has a coherent idea, one which has a big budget and at times strong script - but then it take a pause or somebody slips in another page of absolute rubbish.
Nautilus has a big budget and big stars but maybe a little bit more needed spending on the script - less lush costumes - less real whales - (you'll see what I mean) and more well ... script - and more - well somebody which it lacks to make it a strong 7.
There are some weak characters here and some weak acting - some of it complicated by Australians doing English Accents form another age, 'Blaster' got his from the Famous Five at some point.
There is also a lack of character development early on, your forgetting who somebody is and why they are there before they decide to tell you. I'm not a great fan of character development or back story - an episode per character it slows down the pace but here it seems to get forgotten.
The Guardian and some reviews are harsh but fair - in my opinion this if flawed but watchable and even enjoyable.
