BasicLogic Update 7/22 for S04E07It has become worse and worse in this episode. Unnecessary love-making scene of the couple. Most ridiculous lure of the vicious captain and the wife of Poldark, she in this episode almost looked like a stupid bimbo, totally absurd and disgusting! It seems this series has entered into a dead lane and couldn't find a way out. The segment of the vicar's widow also felt contrite and totally unnecessary to go on. I have to reduce one star this time. Absolutely ridiculous and disgusting!!! Terrible, unbearable and poor development,I have to declare that I have to drop this series completely now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A quite mediocre drama series. The ongoing is too slow and too drag-on predictable and boring. Season 04, Episode 05 has become so tidbits annoying, the soundtrack that used to be good, now also gradually became annoying. The vicar's murder/accident, then the sudden cancellation of the wedding, then the lame younger brother suddenly became the murder suspect was absolutely laughable and illogic. The sister's meddling the wedding by brought the news to the bridegroom-to-be brother was so disgustingly illogic, a very poorly drafted scenario. There were too many scenes that should have omitted, too many jumping around scenes to be patched up together simply felt tiresome and unnecessary. No wonder this drama series' popularity has become downward. It only proved that not just me who felt this series developed in S04EP05 was in good direction to keep viewers interested enough to be loyal.

Bottlebrush I'd say this is just as good as (though not better than) the original. They are just two different animals. This one has more slick production values, so beautiful scenery can be shown well, and good characterisation by Aidan Turner (I hope they don't cheapen the thing with more 'bare-chested views', though) and Elearor Tomlinson. I do miss the 'rustic chorus' that was in the initial series - and the peasants are portrayed as a bit too clean looking, in my view.It is good to see that the BBC can still produce something decent of the type that used to be produced (in the genre of North and South, though that was better), without descending into the onslaught of PC messaging that is so off-putting to many viewers, making them turn away from the BBC ...

egallagher-59548 Love everything about the series - so much so I purchased S 1-3 AND the 12 books!! you could say I'm obsessed! Aidan and Eleanor are perfectly cast and play well off each other. The rest of the cast is brilliant as well. Debbie Horsfield has done a great job interpreting the books. Looking forward to S4 & 5!!!! I don't understand why the series hasn't received more nominations and awards!!

carriescoffee I use IMDB all the time to look at reviews but I never leave them. I signed up for an account just so I could rate this series BECAUSE IT IS THAT AWESOME. The only thing that I wish was different is that there were more episodes in a season. Ross Poldark is one of my favorite characters of all time. I can't say enough about how good this show is and everyone involved deserves accolades from the actors to the producers and writers and costume and set designers. The filmography is spectacular. I hope there are many more seasons to come (preferably with more episodes in each season). I also would love to see more television like this. I love historical fiction but a lot of television includes way too much violence, rape, and heroes with extremely confusing and questionable ethics. I like how the characters are flawed and realistic, but still recognizably noble and heroic. There are underlying messages about humanity's flaws and how we do suffer the consequences of our actions but also the value of love, forgiveness, and compassion is emphasized.
