Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

gaykathleen What a shame! This was such a good series to begin with and one that many people looked forward to watching. It is now a soapie! The acting is not in question but rather the writing! It needs to be rescued before it deteriorates further. We need some well written scripts that return the series to its former glory wherein action and suspense were built into the storytelling. Get away from the melodrama and wishy washy story telling that is no more than who has been with whom and who had whose child and who lost their love to whom and who is seducing who, etc. You can do better than this! The scenery/setting is beautiful. The characters are clearly drawn and portrayed. Now give them something to work with. Hoping for some improved scripts for the actors to work with and needs to happen soon!

orca-14854 Having seen the trailer, I was expecting something very very good BUT what I got was INCREDIBLE, FANTASTIC & BELIEVABLE viewing which transported me along the beautiful roads and countryside of 18th century Britain and along the way I was introduced to the best eye-popping candy I have seen in decades.....the delectable Aidan Turner. It was so good in fact that I immersed myself in the whole of the 1st and 2nd series in one weekend ....so ladies, my suggestion to you is to do what I did, put away your vacuums, dishcloths and pegbags, put your mobiles on silent, make some coffee and sit back and take in all that is magical and exciting right from the first minute of my most favorite series EVER. I hope you enjoy it as much.....

chrishealey13 Let me preface this by saying that I'm a 20 year old college guy who was just bored on Prime TV looking for something to watch, and was not expecting to enjoy a "romance drama" as much as this. In fact I cannot even believe I'm fond enough of this show to write a brief review about it. Is it slow? Yes. Is there a ton of action and crazy stuff going on? No. But it hooked me in nonetheless. I found the main character Ross Poldark to be very intriguing to watch and figure out what he was all about. I think Aidan Turner does an awesome job portraying the rough around the edges, yet tender character of Ross. Also, the other lead actors and actresses playing characters such as Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson), Elizabeth (Heida Reed) and others do a fantastic job. I was expecting corny nonsense in a genre like this, but that's not the case. I think that comes from having a story based off a well respected author. Also, the visuals and soundtrack are absolutely phenomenal. I think that half the reason I watch is to see the gorgeous shots of Cornwall (aka the Cornish Riviera), along with the brilliant soundtrack by Anne Dudley which provide for some heart stopping moments. The intro and transitions in this show are some of my favorite parts of it, and that is not to dash the story, but simply meant to show just how amazing they are. Give it a watch! My only complaint would be some of the unrealistic outcomes from certain plots in the story which I don't want to give away that left me feeling a bit like "cmon...there's no way that was actually supposed to happen". Nevertheless, a great show. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did.

maesha-23757 I heavily adore this show. It really captions the century this show is based on and it really makes me dive it to the books. It has great actors and costumes and the places they shoot are incredible. If you're like me who loves history and romance..you'll certainly love this show. furthermore, the characters need more development but this concerns only a few of them but nothing more everything is great. I love it. definitely worth a shot.
