    I found the first few episodes a little slow, but as the series progressed, the depth and attention to detail given to the characters in the first episodes pays off brilliantly. The main character 'Soames' developes into a towering performance of complexity and as a snapshot of victorian life and values is exceptional.

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    Excellently made and really enjoyable. Damian Lewis is a corker as Soames but but BUT I just couldn't buy into Gina McKee as Irene. I really tried! I know she her 'reserved, at arm's length' demeanour is the point / as a result of the story, but ultimately I thought her performance was just plain DULL. What a shame because other than that...BRILL!

  • British Drama Classic

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    A classic story with an excellent cast. The tale of a fictional English family set after the 1st world war deals both old and modern relationship issues. An excellent turn from Gina McKee and Damian Lewis.

    This is Period Drama at it absolute best.

    Everything about this was slick - from the genuis casting, the amazing costumes, the location and the brilliant production.

    Damian Lewis as Soames was outstanding!

    As a period drama freak this is up there with the best (..just behind Bleak house!).

    You will watch this and be completely transported. Get the wine and nibbles in...and enjoy!

  • Excellent series, well-worth watching.

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    I watched the entire series over several weeks and found myself wanting more when it ended. Top-notch cast, settings, costumes and superb writing make it a thoroughly enjoyable series. It made me laugh and cry and I grew to care quite alot about all the main characters. I know I will watch it again in a few years time as I haven't seen anything this satisfying in years.
