The River S01E01 – Magus

The River follows the family of a wildlife expert and TV show host, very much in the style of Steve Irwin, after he goes missing whilst filming on the Amazon river.  The show is filmed entirely as a documentary with a camera crew and surveillance cameras.  It is reminiscent of the Blair Witch Project in the style that it was filmed, but unlike the Blair Witch Project it isn't crap.  The River raises more than enough questions to keep you interested and shows you enough to make you want to see more without revealing everything straight away.  I really enjoyed it, which can only mean one thing... you can pretty much forget about there being a season 2, we can all hope but looking at the news on Google it looks like it's already been cancelled, so I've got the rest of the season to enjoy and no doubt the frustration at the end of the season at yet another unresolved climax!
