I have finished season 1 and loved how it progressed. Usually, I lose interest about halfway through, or something happens and I discover it was a character I liked who for whatever reason leaves the story and so don't want to watch any more. But this series is great from beginning to end. The only thing I didn't like was that at near the end the dog gets killed.
It isn't that bad, really, and nothing is shown. But even with that teeny-tiny scene it would be a shame to miss watching it. If you're sensitive about things like this as I am just fast forward when you see Demelza usher the dog out the door at the end of part 15.

Poldark
This blog was supposed to be for reviews of books, but there will be exceptions.
The first is Winston Graham's Poldark series. I chose to watch the television adaptation on DVD rather than read the novels mainly because I love watching historical series, and this one does not disappoint.
The character of Ross Poldark is kind yet firm, with an almost tender smile, and well liked by his Cornish community. If there is one who doesn't like the Captain it's one of the magistrates with whom he has a run in because of one of his tenants.
But Captain Ross isn't without his problems, from an impulsive cousin, and a lonely one to a fiance who chooses another in his absence, to work management problems. But he handles these with a firm tact and integrity. In fact he's very much like the male leads in my books; which is why I could fall for him myself :)
I've just started watching episode 5 so will continue to blog about this.
You can get both books and DVDs here
