User Reviews

 
Excellent series which does not appear "dated"
10 January 2000 | by coyne – See all my reviews

This series is a welcome dramatization of the Winston Graham novels dealing with the Poldarks of Cornwall. The acting is great and the local scenery enthralling. The programs are full of adventure, intrigue, romance and also provide an interesting insight into the lives of miners at the end of the 18th century.
