one of my absolute favorites!

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

What a great show/series!! Spell binding and time flies. The story lines are wonderful and cannot say enough about the actors. Thanks for such wonderful time.

I noticed this on a Canadian television schedule one Wednesday evening and I taped it to watch later. I had seen it on the TV guide before but had not looked at it closely. Once I did I realized I recognized the two Indian actors from previous work and knew they were British. I love the British dramas so was ticked off I'd obviously missed the first episode.Nevertheless I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was a pretty good show and I figured out the characters and story lines quickly. Beautifully shot and acted, I'm very impressed. I do miss Heartbeat and The Royal and this is a good replacement. The first series just finished and I'm looking forward to series 2 starting next week.

Dark Comedy, Melancholic drama, the acting is brilliant, the backdrop is as apt as apt can be. It has a very LOTR-shire like characteristics. It takes you to a different world, yet its a real world. The cast is small but intricately woven so you know the characters in and out. There always a background story line "noise" - which stays with you all the time yet does not let you get preoccupied with the outcome. Its probably the most "human" show i have seen in a long time. Sanjeev Bhaskar has managed to shed his image as a slapstick comedian in this venture. I am sure most people will be pleasantly surprised, and those who are not, give it some time. You'll get involved before you know it. Hope BBC recommissions it.

I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful cast, stunning scenery, accurate and thoughtful storytelling, and gorgeous HD picture quality. This really belongs in prime-time on a Sunday night because there are so many storyline threads that were not able to be resolved in just five 45 minute episodes, and I need to know what happens next to all the characters! With ITV foolishly cancelling Heartbeat and The Royal, the BBC should take advantage of this and commission another series of this feel-good family drama now. The cast were wonderful, very likable, and the 1963 setting - complete with a musical soundtrack of the day - was pure heaven.Please, please, please BBC - let's have more of this series please and preferably in an early Sunday evening time-slot.
