A swashbuckling adventure series set in the 18th century. When she's framed for murder, Nell Jackson is forced into a life of highway robbery, along with her two orphaned sisters Roxanne and George. Aided by a plucky little spirit called Billy Blind, Nell realises that fate has put her on the wrong side of the law for a reason, a reason much bigger than she could've ever imagined, a reason that goes right up to Queen Anne and beyond, to the struggle for power raging across the battlefields of Europe.

Re: Renegade Nell [Disney+, Action/Adventure/Fantasy/Comedy]

What a great and promising recipe?
A young female "Robin Hood", a pinch of "Princess Bride", some slices of "Sleepy Hollow" and a dash of "Pirates of the Caribbean" stewed in a slightly slap-stickly british pot of swashbuckling fantastical adventure?
Great costumes, good action and ok-ish special effects?
That should be enough shouldn't it?

Sadly they added large amounts of bitter "completely illogical timelines and scripts"!
And a revolting amount of "completely unnecessary idiotic and superficial characters & dialogues"

Louisa Harland is well chosen and is doing really well, but she can't save another messed-up Disney-script - like so many over the last 2 decades! Instead of making a kid/family-series/movies they (Disney) seemingly are unable to understand how this can be done anymore, so they mix over simplistic characters and "realities" (from children scripts) with (too)fast paced from teen-content and then some rather adult contents and then they wonder why it tastes like boiled shoe-soles... yikes smile big_smile

So this could have been REALLY great...! But its not! Only a 1-2/5★ from me...

Is it for you? Yes, if you don't mind
- the rather oversimplified script
- the weak humor
- and many misfitted children's -content
==> then enjoy a sparkling special adventure with guns, sabers and lots of MAGIC!

Is it for Kids?
Hmm, no not really, its rather a 12+ series...


... sadly i really enjoyed E01, but from E02 it went slowly and constantly downhill. Only the Magics & Action scenes were nice until the end, most of the rest i had to skip through... bummer!

... maybe S02 gets better?

I haven't yet found the time to check it out, but the good IMDb rating makes me hope it's just you who didn't like it. big_smile

Re: Renegade Nell [Disney+, Action/Adventure/Fantasy/Comedy]

^^ that might be possible, but i dont believe that i am the only one, maybe a minority... maybe smile .. and then there is the question of how consequential IMDB-Ratings are  on series, which i regard rather inconsequential  big_smile

I really like the idea & concept, just not the execution - Have a look smile Curious what you think.

I just watched it over 3 nights, enjoyed it, was it perfect....no, but it was at worst a 7/10 for me. Would watch a second series.

Same here. At no point did I ever get the impression that they knew where they were going with it, but it was overall an enjoyable experience. Early 1700s Britain being used as a setting for something like this is surprisingly rare, but there were still moments that made me wonder if using a fantasy world outright might have been better.

I liked it ok but tapped out halfway through the season. Was nothing wrong with it, just realized I didn't care.

Simple entertainment which I enjoyed.

Sometimes, we need a break for some mindless entertainment.  This fits the bill.  I'd tune in for another season.  There's something to build on here.
