A different way of telling a story

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

Watched the first two episodes and yes , lush sets and costumes but judged it full of stereo-types with pedestrian direction. Thought that I would 'give it a chance' for episodes 3 and 4. So glad I did. The pace and tension increased incrementally. As did the standard of the performances. Started to care about characters, even though some of the relationships portrayed are devices to show the changing state of society in Britain. It became electric, Really looking forward to the next 4 episodes

The series is simply not busy enough, and the lack of charismatic characters, makes viewing rather boring. We gave up after 6 episodes, and the production smacked of being done on a limited budget. At least a snappy and creative script might have saved our day, but my wife and myself, kept asking why are watching this?

ITV love these big budget Monday night dramas, and much like 'Mr Selfridge' before it this programme is trying to be all style and substance one minute, and then cover big issues the next.It's entertaining enough stuff though, pushing all the right buttons in terms of entertainment. There is some shoddy dialogue and soapy elements in there though, and I don't think the ratings have been as high as ITV would have liked.It's got people tuning in though, and talking about it the next morning, so that surely can't be a bad thing. Will it return though, that's the question.

It appeared in episode one, to be a war time soap but it's growing up into a sophisticated viewing option. The Halcyon is getting better and better each week. It's a glamorous reminder of how far we have come. The story lines fit snugly together with a smart script and beautifully worked scenery. A real treat on a dark winter night. Roll on commissioning series 2.
