My Mother and Other Strangers (2016)
Lost for Words, Again and Again
I have watched this many times and I always walk away stunned. Hattie Morgan's performance is absolutely brilliant. I can feel her emotions overcome me as I watch the performance. For a few hours I am completely lost to today as I am transported to WWII-era Northern Ireland. I am trapped in these beautiful, loving surroundings but ache for more.
The characters and story lines couldn't be anymore absorbing than the are. This series is a treasure of both talent and emotion. I am a connoisseur of British wartime dramas and this is one of the very best I've seen. The production value is on par with Foyle's War. If you like that you will love this too.
All that needs to be said is Bravo!
The Village (2013)
One of the best I've ever seen and I watch alot
To say this is absorbing is an understatement. The writers spared no detail when writing about the brutality of village life in early 20th century England. The story is fascinating. The characters are multi dimensional. It left me thinking about the story days later. The content is so rich you need to watch it multiple times to absorb the depth. You end up mourning for characters who exit the storyline. I'm a BBC period piece junkie. This is easily one of the best of the hundreds, if not thousands I've seen. My other favorites include Foyle's War, The Forsyte Saga and The Way We Live Now. It deserves the IMDB rating it's received from everyone who's rated it.
