KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

mazinman-1 As a fan of Pride and Prejudice I love these old British tales from Victorian England such as Jane Austen and Eliz Caskell. I kind of stumbled into North and South and was floored on how well it is done. The BBC takes enormous pains to develop each character to a fine depth and endearment and fleshes out all the nuances. The subdued feelings and manners of the time and the repressed and polite discourse; then it is finessed into a wonderful emotional crescendo at the end.I was hysterically crying when my WIFE walked in after binge watching all four hours on Netflix. How wonderful it is done! And I thought P&P was the benchmark! No longer.Yes, I went to USC Film School and worked in the film industry for awhile but that did nothing to suspend my thoughts of today and be swept back to 1845 England. Both lead actors do superb jobs in their roles and the technical aspects of a mill town of the Industrial Revolution is well crafted and adeptly displayed. Job well done BBC!

Teacuppy Spoiler at the end!!!The focus of this series is not on romance, but on its beautiful story that is about so much more than just romantic LOVE between two persons. The focus is on its message that you need to look at things from different perspectives and try to understand the other sides as well. It is a heartwarming story, with real and complex characters which are very likable (except for one annoying character - John's sister...I hated her), it has beautiful and well put together romance aspect (if you consider that it is not placed in modern era) filled with those subtle gentle caresses...looks...moments. It also has heartbreaking scenes...it managed to make me cry.Everything developed with just the right speed, it was captivating, direction was excellent, it has beautiful scenery...The actors are absolutely amazing !!! and Richard Armitage is breathtaking.PURE PERFECTIONI could tell you so much more about this, describe things that I LOVED, but that would take away from it - you better see it yourself.This will be REwatched many times!!!! And the book will be read too !!!!*I recommend this* to anyone who likes period dramas but also to ones who are open to new things. My MALE friend watched this with me and he was amazed as well. :)10/10 ISN'T HIGH ENOUGH for this masterpiece!!!!!..............................................................SPOILER :The Last scene in front of the train while they are sitting and he looks at her gently and with so much love...is the most romantic one I've ever seen...and nothing will ever be just as good...BY the end I WAS left starving for more....and more.... - that is maybe the only flaw I found !!!! it needs more kisses and stuff...damn it :(

soffer4494 A fantastic period drama! Armitage, Coyle, Denby-Ashe, and Cusack light the flames that keep this going 10 years later. Everything is good about this show. The costumes and setting are so good. If you don't want to fall in love with Armitage, don't watch this. He'll suck you in and you will be stuck... for awhile, anyway. I love Coyle's worker's accent and speech. British shows tend to make us listen to the dialogue with words that are not part of everyday American language. I think they could have made it into 6 shows with more development of John and Maragret's relationship and more of an intro of the two main characters. Also, the editing at times was off which made things weird.

ssra_25 Great cast, great story, great movie, the likes of which you rarely get to see nowadays. Almost 10 years after it was launched and I still couldn't stop watching it over and over again. And I'm definitely going to look for the novel now. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a really romantic (but not unnecessarily cheesy), good-taste story, superbly interpreted by some really good actors. This could have easily been a cinema movie, although I suspect its length would have been a problem... I can't believe I didn't make the time to see it before...Anyway, enjoy the movie! :)
