Grand Historical Romance September 24, 2002

Poldark is an adaptation of the first four of Winston Graham's novels set in Cornwall in the late eighteenth century. This is a great story of love and loss. Ross Poldark arrives home after years in the British army in the America (How often do we Americans see a redcoat as a hero?) to find his father dead and his beloved Elizabeth engaged to his cousin Francis. Ross endures intense depression, then finds two new loves, his future wife Demelza and his copper mines. He defends both and comes close to losing both in one scheme after another. All the time his unrequited love for Elizabeth hangs over him and his family. The Poldark story is a good picture of late eighteenth century England as the old gentry, represented by the Poldarks, struggles for control against the up and coming new commercial elite, represented here by the Warleggan family. It is a grand story of romance and adventure.

I LOVED this story when I first watched it on PBS in the late 70's. I bought the VHS--but was somewhat disappointed with
editing. A DVD of the original series (no editing) is absolutely necessary! Please!
Holds up very well after 25 years December 3, 2001

After waiting for this to come out of DVD, I got tired of waiting and recently purchased it on video. I'm so glad I did! I watched this series in 1975 when it was first broadcast on PBS. I was 13. Unlike some of the other BBC productions of that time, this one holds up amazingly well. It's just as wonderful as I remember. The acting is suberb, the story strong and intriguing and the viewer is never bored. The details aid in geting the feeling of the period. The main thread of the story, along with many of the subplots, will stay with you for a long time. I was amazed at how much of the series I remembered after 25 years! That's staying with you!
 Where's the DVD? April 19, 2004

The story may take place in the 18th centrury, but this is 2004 -- where's the DVD? If it were available on DVD, I'd be buying it right now, instead of writing this reveiw!I did see the series on television a couple times, and it is great fun! Great character development, and, like the soaps, there are those you love to hate and even some you hate to love.
