Crusoe is a TV drama series from NBC which aired from 2008 until 2009. It is based on the classic novel by Daniel Defoe named Robinson Crusoe. The show stars Philip Winchester as Robinson Crusoe, a man who is stranded on a deserted island for six years after a shipwreck. Sam Neill plays Jeremiah Blackthorn, a former slave trader who is marooned on the same island as Crusoe.

The series begins with Crusoe and his friend Friday (Tongayi Chirisa), a man from a nearby island, trying to escape the island they were stranded on for six years. They hope to return to England where Crusoe can reunite with his family. However, they encounter Blackthorn who tells Crusoe that he has been sent by the British government to find a priceless treasure that is hidden on the island. Crusoe and Blackthorn soon form a tenuous alliance as they set out to find the treasure.

As they travel across the island, the two men encounter various obstacles such as dangerous animals, hostile natives, and even a group of pirates. Crusoe and Blackthorn use their different skills to help each other out of tough situations as they continue their search for the treasure.

The show also includes flashbacks of Crusoe's life before he was stranded on the island, giving viewers insight into his relationships with his family, especially his father (played by Sean Bean). As the show progresses, Crusoe starts to confront his past and deal with unresolved issues with his family.

One of the unique aspects of the show is the way it incorporates elements of fantasy, including visions and dreams that Crusoe experiences on the island. These surreal sequences often involve his deceased wife and add a mystical element to the story.

Throughout the series, viewers are also introduced to other characters who are important to the story. Joliffe (played by Sam Sako) is a native who helps Crusoe and Friday navigate the island, while Selkirk (played by Joss Ackland) is a hermit who has been living on the island for decades.

Overall, Crusoe is an action-packed adventure series with a strong emotional core. The show explores themes of survival, friendship and redemption as the two main characters go through various trials and tribulations. With stunning scenery and a great cast, Crusoe is an enjoyable watch for any fan of adventure, drama, and fantasy.
