I liked this DVD. Ross Poldark rides again in a swashbuckling new adaptation of the hit series that helped launch Masterpiece in the 1970s. Captain Poldark is a redcoat who returns to Cornwall after the American Revolution and finds that…

I tried to like Outlander, and I thought that this would be slightly similar, without the time travelling. Which I happen to like much better. I was never able to sit through all the seasons of Outlander without feeling like it was a chore…

Another wonderful period drama from BBC with all the adventure you would expect. The story line gets a bit repetitive as the seasons progress and I found myself fast forwarding sometimes. But the beautiful Aiden Turner together with the…

It's the poor man's Outlander and in much the same manner, this one too goes from good to bad, in every sense of the word. The first one is the best but it's nothing you haven't already done.

Movies done in 1975 are quite primitive by today’s sophisticated appproach. The camera work, script , staging all somewhat stilted and overall slow moving. Lots of dialogue - more stage like. However, I got hooked on the story and people…

I must agree with the comments below...was looking forward to watching this series. It certainly did not disappoint! Aidan (who played Ross Poldark) was superb as well as the rest of the cast. The writing/storyline was excellent as well as…
Yes it’s a Cornish soap opera and everything that can go wrong will, but I want to see how it will work out (and I know it will). The acting is good and the whole thing entertaining.

Brilliant British drama. Not quite Downton Abbey but it does portray the extremes of society, namely the disparity between the rich and the poor, which has troubling parallels to our own times. Gorgeous scenery (Cornwall area) and fine…

I’m usually apprehensive of television series. In my experience, they are usually overdone, highly sexualized, and push too many progressive themes whilst claiming to be true to a previous era. However, I was pleasantly surprised with this…

“You don't have to find some mysterious stones to touch to go back in time to the 18th century. Just experience Poldark on a hi-def TV with a good sound system, and you'll BE there. From the stunning Cornwall scenery, to the careful…

A different type of series than I normally watch. It was slower to intise me, but soon pulled me into the drama and era. I thoroughly recommend watching it. It transported me into that more challenging time period. Can't even imagine how…

This is an amazing show! At first, it was a little slow... Didn't really draw me in that much. But I kept going and now I love it! I definitely recommend this show to anyone who's missing Downton Abbey (like me). It's a wonderful show with…
What can I say that has not been said already? Many sigh-worthy moments. I adored the interchanges, often unspoken between Agatha Poldark and George Warleggan!
