Nothing to add that hasn't been said already about this wonderful show. But, sadly, it is now largely LOST.
Had this series been done in the 1950s or early 60s by Disney, it might have been halfway good. But there's a cheapness to the whole production, from the often awful CGI effects to the soap-opera quality acting.

I'm coming to this series very late (2020), and my rating reflects the show's vision and guts, for the time. It may well be the most genuinely true graphic novel steam punk live action series ever made.
Unoriginal script and convoluted story make this rather painful viewing, which is why you've probably never seen it! It's Doctor Who without Doctor Who.
THE SECRET ADVENTURES OF JULES VERNE offers a potentially rewarding premise which remains sadly unfulfilled. Introducing Verne as a young, aspiring writer and inventor in the 1860s (when in fact he was married and becoming a successful author), who meets the actual Phileas Fogg and Passepartout.
This show is a really great action/adventure about the Jules Verne stories. I miss it very much and would love to see it on DVD for other people to enjoy.
This looks good. High production values pay off, the effects are great, and the cinematography is top-notch.
Meet Phileas Fogg, the owner of the Aruora a fantastic flying ship and employer to a mechanical genius and sometimes vocabulary confused valet named Passpartout. Fogg was Great Britian's best secret service agent.
