After watching ‘Downton abbey’, everyone suggesting me to watch ‘Poldark’ next. I am a fan of ‘PBS Masterpiece’, there is also, ‘Poldark’ is a recommended series. But, why I couldn’t like the series? I tried my best to love the show but failed. There is not a charming story.
Generally, a series glue us due to expected romantic destiny of lead characters, interesting suspense and intrigue, but in this series, we just find ‘a struggle to establish a mill’. In the first episode, he is just preparing for the mill and till season 3, he is just struggling to establish his business, I can’t tell about further seasons because I couldn’t waste time on a thing, in which I has no interest.
His romance story ends when he marries in the first season. And throughout whole season and next season, we just watch normal life of a husband and wife. The again and again failure of the mill tire us. We just think, oh come on! Let him establish the mill and move the story further. The series is nothing about but the story of establishing mill, making him a leader of downtrodden people, and law and courts. I am lawyer but I tired up watching courts again and again.
While watching the series, I also had a thought that a tiny land England ruled on the whole world but could not give happy lives to its citizens. All money, which England looted from other countries, just concentrated in some people.
The only good thing in the series is the characters of Poldark’s servants, sometimes I laughed too hard on their behavior and dialogues. The villain in the series is such a character that we could not resist ourselves to like him. He does everything to ruin the hero of the series but still he is likable character.
The scenery and cinematography is attractive and good and characters also looks good. But, story lacks. If you are also wanting to watch, you can watch but don’t expect too much.
