I give this only a seven because of the miscasting of one major role: Belinda. But the series is still enjoyable to watch and certainly worthwhile for a few hours of fascination. However, the performance of Ms Connor (Belinda) was a major flaw, in my opinion. She was too young for the part, failed to deliver a performance with the depth of personality her character required, and at times seems stiff and out of place in her portrayal of her character. Had the role been better cast, this historical drama would have accomplished its' goal of taking the viewer back to the drama and tragedy of the Klondike gold rush. Her presence in her every scene pulled me away from the authentic magic of the movie.
