[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I just wondered into the uncharted for me land of PBS website. While I watch then on TV since.. forever, I never visited their site or at least long ago not to count :lol: Apparently this is a GOLD Mine for titles to watch.. there are masterpieces that are not known to me and that promise some heavy potential. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/ All Creatures Great and Small Arthur & George Atlantic Crossing Baptiste Beecham House Breathless Churchill's Secret Dark Angel Death Comes to Pemberley Downton Abbey Elizabeth Is Missing Endeavour Flesh and Blood Grantchester Hercule Poirot Home Fires Howards End Indian Summers Inspector Lewis King Charles III Les Misérables Little Women Magpie Murders Man in an Orange Shirt Miss Marple Miss Scarlet & The Duke Mr. Selfridge Mrs. Wilson My Mother and Other Strangers Poldark Press Prime Suspect: Tennison Ridley Road Roadkill Sanditon Sherlock Silk The Chaperone The Child in Time The Collection The Durrells in Corfu The Lady Vanishes The Long Song The Miniaturist The Paradise The Unseen Alistair Cooke To Walk Invisible The Brontë Sisters Unforgotten Van der Valk Victoria Wallander What the Durrells Did Next Wolf Hall World on Fire Worricker[/quote] Anyone seen any of these on this list? Thoughts: I’ve seen: All Creatures Great and Small- 2021 version - it was sweet Beecham House - fair Downton Abbey - good Elizabeth Is Missing - good Howards End - very good Les Misérables - excellent Mrs. Wilson - good Poldark - good, but the later seasons more mediocre Sanditon - good The Chaperone - fair to good The Long Song - excellent The Miniaturist - good[/quote] My thoughts: All Creatures Great and Small- I’ve only seen the 2021 version. Think it’s very sweet. Beecham House- mediocre at best, but would have watched a second season. Breathless- good Dark Angel- good, but dark Death Comes to Pemberley- I wanted to love this, but as an Austen fan I absolutely hated it. Downton Abbey- Excellent. One of my favorites Elizabeth Is Missing- very good Endeavour- excellent. I had seen and really liked Inspector Morse and Inspector Lewis before starting. Grantchester- Excellent! Hercule Poirot- Absolute Gold Standard for mystery adaptation. Howards End- poor. Stick with the Emma Thompson/Helena Bonham Carter film version Indian Summers- good, but not great. Inspector Lewis- wonderful! See Endeavor. Stands alone from Inspector Morse, but a bonus if you’ve watched that too. Les Misérables-excellent Little Women- not good. Stick with the film version Miss Marple - great, but without the amazing extra charm of David Suchet’s Poirot. Also disliked how they took some stand alone or Tommy and Tupence Books and mixed them into Miss Marple Miss Scarlet & The Duke- really, really hard to get through. Mr. Selfridge- good Mrs. Wilson- very good Poldark- Excellent. one of my favorites Sanditon- wish they would make a second season!!! Hard to swallow as an Austen fan, but if you ignore that it started off as her last, unfinished novel and just got into the story it was pretty good. Main characters lacked chemistry though. Sherlock- excellent The Chaperone- meh The Durrells in Corfu- one of the absolutely best shows! The Long Song-excellent The Miniaturist- ok, but not great. Story felt incomplete. The Paradise- excellent. Season 1 stronger than season 2. The Unseen Alistair Cooke- more of a documentary than drama. It was informative. To Walk Invisible The Brontë Sisters- not bad Victoria- very, very good What the Durrells Did Next- also a documentary. Worth watching after seeing the show. Wolf Hall- absolute top notch World on Fire- very good. Looking forward to season 2. I’m surprised some of the shows that are frequently aired on PBS on TV aren’t on this list like Lark Rise to Candleford, Cranford and A Place to Call Home. The first is a little too slow for me, but LOVED the later two. [/quote]
