The story held my interest for all 40 episodes but there were some glaring inconsistencies. For instance, the Grove family. It starts out with three girls and then they have a baby boy but when Mr Grove finds out the little boy isn't his, it changes to 2 girls and 3 boys. Then it later changes back to 3 girls and 1 boy. And what happened to the youngest Selfridge daughter. She is there until part way into season 3 and is never seen to talked about again. When Kitty is injured (won't give away what happened to her) the cut is on the right side of her face at the hospital but in the next scene it's on the left. Also, the dialog is often wrong for the period. There were phrases like "don't go there" as in don't talk about a particular topic. That idiom wasn't introduced until the 70s or 80s.Overall, I enjoyed the series but the inconsistencies were annoying and distracting.

Great period piece with intriguing storyline. Plot develops many of the characters which draws in the viewer's interest. Costuming and Store set are perfection.

Dutch review: Masterpiece has been successful in touching the hearts of Dutch television-watchers. As a professional director I know what a good job has been done, and many with me..We enjoy the care that has been taken to make us part of the lives of people who must have existed, although their characters are combinations of lots and lots of people. I did notice a lot of people telling each other about this BBCproduction. Although Dutch television has more and more good productions, we are a bit jealous of the Britains..(their budgets?)Speaking for myself: After having seen almost three seasons of Mr Selfridge (and all his colleagues and family-members) I've become part of some live-stories that captures me over and over again. I almost never watch soaps because of their flat characters, but I cannot wait until the next episode of Mr Selfridge emerges on my flat-screen. (and my son keeps asking why I'm not turning on 'popcorn-tv', I won't! I like the waiting also! Why is it capturing me? As a director of all kind of theater-productions I love the story lines, the natural way of acting (simple and very expressive). I love the (small) details, completely in tune with the characters, but also the big overviews. I especially love the 'over all' atmosphere. I enjoy the flow of images and music, but also the stills. The historical facts are very moving and interesting and I also respect very much the fantasy-parts. People are all different and experience reality from another point of view, so some fantasy is right into place.. Until now I have noticed the very carefully build up characters, all with different accents, color of voices, dressing-style, hairstyle and make-up. I'm amazed about the continuously development of their characters, which isn't an easy job to do. In two words: Well done! Many a people won't express their-selves on this type of platforms..But they also love Mr Selfridge (and the others)

I only started watching the show after discovering Jeremy Piven is starring, and now that i have finished the 3rd series i can gladly say that i have not been disappointed. This show takes us on a journey on which we discover where the London Selfridge stores came from, but there's much more to it than Jeremy Piven going to London and setting up shop, this is a show that many people can relate to, with the everyday decisions of not just Mr. Selfridge but also his staff and family. The show inspires us to remember that no star is too far to reach. Throughout the 3 seasons we watch Mr. Selfridge and how he does his best to maintain a fair balance between his family and his work, we also see the extraordinary events of the time such as the development of planes and improvements of cars as well as looking at how the first world war affected everyday regular working people and what they had to do in order to help their country. Now that the 3rd series has come to an end, i simply cannot wait to see what's next for Mr. Selfridge.Im so pleased that i gave this show a chance, and i very strongly recommend you do too.
