Review of Tarzan

Tarzan (2003)
The Abruptly Aborted 'Tarzan' Series
21 May 2005
While like so many WB shows that are 'hyped' and then abruptly aborted in mid-stride, while trying to find their stride; 'Tarzan', with a new, up-to-date take on the character, was canceled with the flick of a pen, just as it was finding itself.

The on-screen chemistry between the two lead characters was wonderful and Travis Fimmel's portrayal of an innocent, intense man lost in a new world, was excellent. If only the rest of humanity could see their fellows in such shade of right and wrong...

Of course, the long haired, firm bodied Fimmel had women drooling during the show, as well as since. After all, who wouldn't like to have such a guy just drop in their bedroom window at will? (A la Angel or Spike!)

It's a shame that the WB chose to axe this show as it was finding it's footing, much as they did 'Birds Of Prey;, however I suppose that's better that taking one out at its peak as they so cruelly did to Joss Whedon's 'Angel'

Fimmel might have made an excellent 'villian' on 'Angel'. What a 'beef-cake' sampler platter THAT would have been!
