What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Hollywood Reporter says David Oyelowo and Hayley Atwell can only breathe so much life into MGM Plus's Treasure Island, and I have not seen it, but it is a masterpiece.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe review calls it handsome but undercooked. A kitchen would close it.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI once saw a ship in a port that was handsome but undercooked, and I did not stay for dinner.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the pirates are medium rare!
