This mini-series was originally epic in its scope and vision. The whole series is based on a series of books that were written by John Galsworthy following the story of three generations within the Forsythe clan. This particular version of the Forsythe movies was in black and white but was probably the most far-reaching and epic version that's out there. Normally the word epic (to me) can be considered daunting, but in the case of these episodes it changes to something more friendly and welcome. You fall in love with these characters; you grow and feel for them like they're you and yours (pun intended: as one of the points of this story is about ownership of people and their emotions). In my opinion even Soames - the man of property - becomes admirable in his love for his daughter at the end. Any ways, I think it's a very complex story that was translated extremely well into film by those working on this version of the story! So enjoy it for its whole 1300 minutes. PEACE! -Katerina, FL

While the acting is definitely not some of the best, it's not the worst either. The real gem in this series is the storyline. After the first few episodes, the story grabs you and it's interesting to contrast the usually stoic Victorian England with the normal passions of people that exist below the surface. Definitely worth watching!
