review of poldark series 1 part 1
For anyone who likes period dramas or just a bit of romance Poldark series 1 part 1 is fantastic viewing.By todays standards the special effects and sets are not as elaborate,however the storylines speak for themselves.
The first episode begins with Ross Poldark returning to Cornwall from the American wars of independance to find his father dead,his estate a shambles and his beloved Elizabeth engaged to his cousin Francis.Ross later shocks the local gentry by marrying below his class with a former street urchin Demelza, but who does he really love Demelza or Elizabeth?.
Angharad Rees is fantastic and believable as the feisty Demelza as is Robin Ellis as the brooding Captain Poldark.
'Poldark' is pure nostalgia and highly addictive you'll need to watch the episodes in a marathon session. It will also have your mums and grans reminiscing about nights in front of the tv in the 'good old days'.Its worth a watch just to hear some terrible attempts at a cornish accent!.
