DELIGHTFUL. Conventional Rom-Com, Indian mother stereotypes, usual great looking young couple……BUT, wow, all of that was overcome by great writing - dialogue, believable characters, balanced humour, and some great acting. Well worth your time. Enjoy! I did.

I’ve learned in life to avoid people like Maggie Cole. Self absorbed, narcissistic, and completely without social boundaries. Even when called on her self serving inappropriate behaviour she manages to ignore the challenge. What’s strange, and frankly implausible is that the people she interacts with in her village life haven’t driven her from the village and burnt her home. It troubles me that PBS has wasted funds obtaining the right to air the series.

Saw this first run in the local theatre. I was 20. Loved it. As I watched I wondered how in the heck the set folks found the authentic things of normal life in 1942. Water cones, store displays, toiletries, household products, personal effects…. Amazing. The interactions between the boys are often hilarious and very real. “Real” also sums up the scenes between the young wife and her flyer husband. I actually wept for the Jennifer O’Neil character with the stunning news of her husband’s death, and her tender interaction with the teenage boy. At the time I was too young to understand the human need for touch, and the need of a broken-hearted soul to be held. I recently watched the film again. Still love it. But, I doubt that the same film could be made today. There would be outrage over stereotypes, and over an adult having sex with a minor. Sad.

Great television. Worth your time. Watch season one... you’ll enjoy.

Some great acting... but too long

Liked Night Hunter very much. Some nice twists and turns. Worth a watch.

Absolutely LOVED this film. The characters were real, engaging and well played by the actors. Settings and sets were terrific. There was no doubt that we were in the cold, wet, gray and beginning to green English countryside. Quite a love story. Scenes between the lovers were believable; at times tender, passionate, and even humourous. I’ll be watching it again s.
