"POLDARK" SERIES ONE (2015): EPISODES ONE TO FOUR

In the years between 2010 and 2015, I have not been able to stumble across a new British period drama that really impressed me. Five years. That is a hell of a long time for a nation with a sterling reputation for period dramas in both فلمیں and television.

I am certain that some people would point out that during this five-year period, the ITV network aired Julian Fellowes'...

"LOVE & FRIENDSHIP" (2016) Review

I never thought any film یا ویژن ٹیلی production would find another story written سے طرف کی Jane Austen to adapt. Not really. The مصنف only had six novels published. And I was never really aware of any other novels, novellas یا short stories . . . until I learned about "LOVE & FRIENDSHIP", Whit Stillman's adaptation of Austen's 1794 epistolary novel, "Lady Susan".
