Supelice Dreadfully Boring

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Shaily Rahman North & South took my breath away. I can find no fault in it and at the risk of causing a literary uproar, I think this is better than Pride and Prejudice. And Richard Armitage, oh my goodness! Who knew the same guy who played Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit could be such a heartthrob? The beauty of this series though, in my opinion, is that there is so much more to it than just romance. By the end of the series, I was crying for the fictional characters not out of sorrow, for the first time in my life, but out of joy! Brilliant stuff.

carolerae4488 I've been wanting to watch this mini-series for a while now, but I never finished the book so long ago, so I felt bad. I really need to give the book a second chance and I will...thanks to this adaptation.Sooooooooo good. I loved the cast and I loved the story. I honestly watched all four episodes in one day, because I needed to know what would happen next. I especially loved Mr. Thornton...even though he was a butt sometimes - I may be biased because I adore Richard Armitage. I did want to punch Margaret though, because she was a pain and wouldn't be honest with Mr. Thornton. Just tell him the truth! GAH! It's so obvious he will believe you and not betray you, because not only does he love you, but he loves your father so that family secret matters not to him. Why can't people just be honest? I get not telling everyone your family secret, but I think the man you love and who loves you deserves the truth.Okay, I did feel bad for Margaret, because she had a nice simple life in southern England with the trees and the house in nature and her father decides to move them to the North for no real reason. The reason - once he tells - is stupid and not really worth the move. Perhaps, in the book they explain it more. We shall see. I am certainly glad that it took a while for the two to get together; it made the first kiss and acceptance of proposal worth the wait. There was a lot they had to work out and prove to each other, before they could get together. Honestly, I am glad they divided this into 4 parts, because they could add more story-line and explain more. Each character also got a good amount of spotlight. The revolt and the people involved got the spotlight it deserved and I'm glad they didn't cut out the dirty truth of the time period. People were being taken advantage of and not getting enough money. Even though they stood up and demanded more, Mr. Thornton was a man of his time period and refused to pay them. Like every romance-y story, he does have a change of heart, but it takes a big event...I will not say what happens, but it does change his heart and see Margaret's point of view. In the end, I am now super excited to give the book a second chance. This was a great adaptation and made me in love with the story. It is not a simple romance, but there are personal issues and society issues that keep them apart for a while. They do come together, but they earned it. They both had to change to be able to love each other fully. I am glad they showed the truth of the time period; there was good, but also people had to suffer and not get paid enough for their work. I recommend this to those that love historical fiction and romance. It is a good story. I stamp this with 5 stars. Favorite Character(s): Mr Thornton (even though he was butt at the beginning), Margaret (even though she deserved a slap for being dumb), Betsy, and Nicholas Not-so Favorite Character(s): Fanny and Hannah Re-watch?: Yes. It was good.

ariesprincess85 This is a beautiful masterpiece from BBC. The presentation of the story is above and beyond anything Hollywood puts on either the big or little screen. It does not fall into the "over the top costume drama" that many modern adaptations of history have fallen into as it was not appropriate for this story and I am glad they did not change it. It is subtle yet inspires deep involvement in the characters, especially Richard Armitage's portrayal of John Thornton. He makes you forget you are watching a modern actor portraying a part and makes you believe that he is John Thornton, that the feelings are 100% real. Not only does this improve the experience of the story, but it also carries you through some of the more frustrating moments of the plot. You love and hate characters at various moments, but overall you love them. Overall if you are a fan of period pieces this is one of the best available. Casting was excellent, plot was beautifully executed, and the filming style was pure perfection.

TheReviewPerson This is one of those series that, once you've finished each episode, you're begging for more. With a fantastic soundtrack, perfect acting, and a beautiful plot, this series makes my personal Top 5 favourites. My mother suggested this to watch, as she'd seen it when it originally came out, and I was doubtful. But within the first five minutes, I was intrigued. I know for sure that classic novel fans will adore this, and many will be converted into classical literature through this, if they are not already (a bit like me!!!). It has elements of hostility and intensity, which has all been filmed and produced brilliantly. I cannot fault this series, and I am usually a very critical person! 10/10
