This is the first time that Peter Benchley has disappointed me. Before watching the first episodes of Amazon, I read the synopsis and thought that it was very unoriginal but gave it a chance because of the great work Peter Benchley has done in the past. I made a mistake in watching it! Recently released "Lost" and "Flight Of The Phoenix", while good in themselves, are very unoriginal and based off one another. "Amazon" is a direct copy of these shows. Personally I am getting tired of movie makers making movies and TV Series based on the same ideas as ones recently released. It's comparable to a bad fashion trend. You dislike it but everyone does it anyway. The bad casting and horrifically obvious fake sets don't add to the tragic mediocrity of this complete DISASTER OF A SERIES!!!!!

Peter Benchley's Amazon was out of place, lost on television. Stranded in the jungle of do-anything-for-ratings it was a beautiful haunting opera lost on the astonished savages, singing its epic of homelessness in the pouring rain. Thus cancellation after one brief brilliant amazing season. The darkness comprehended it not. The words have been lost.To understand Amazon you must first live it. You have to be a member of the Ghost Tribe when holy war comes before you can wonder who are the savages. You have to be a man dying of middle age before the spell of Prudence can save your life. You have to be the son of missionaries to know what it means to be a child of promise. You have to be homeless to want to go home.The Amazon is a place of life and death, an exuberant burst of biology, a cathedral of divine survival. The lost meaning of Amazon can be discovered in the study of biology, and in the peculiar biology of the human mind, that wilderness of light and darkness and survival where the words infect, spread, become lost, and finally turn up in the arms of the person who is holding the arms.Congratulations to everyone who was involved in the show for a job very well done!

This is one of the best Canadian shows you will see on TV ! This show has cast one of the most impressive young & talented kids in Toronto, Danielle Bouffard. Danielle plays the role of Mary in this wonderfully well written TV series. You will love her in this show as much as you all loved her in the role of Sophie in the TV series 'Traders'. You may also remember Danielle as Angel Bryson at age 5 in the TV series 'Twice in a Lifetime' and Katie Miller in the TV series 'Blue Murder'.

A big "Thank You!" to Peter Benchley for giving us what I feel is the best new show of the year. It is refreshing to finally watch a T.V. series with a totally unique concept. The cast is made up of a wonderful array of actors including C. Thomas Howell, Carol Alt, Fabiano Udenio (Austin Powers, Part 1), Rob Stewart, Chris Martin, Tyler Hynes and Gabriel Hogan(Traders) just to name a few. The actors have done a superb job of making their characters grow on you with each passing episode. I find the show to be filled with drama, suspense yet it also has heartwarming compassion. It may take a couple of episodes to get to know the characters and the storyline, but I believe most will find it well worth their while to watch it. I find myself anxiously awaiting each new episode. Gilligan's Island this is NOT! Long live Amazon!
