UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
jttaa I like a lot of the "old school" BBC/ITV series, but I've noticed that their more recent period dramas are trying to cater too hard to the US crowd. This is disappointing, because I always enjoyed shows from the UK because the characters always seemed more realistic and relatable, from the aristocrats to the scullery maids. Some of the stereotypes portrayed in this series are the exact reason I disliked Downton Abbey-- They seem to have too many goofy Hallmark-character traits... the dark brooding alpha male who strays with the hired help yet is always forgiven, the blue eyed blond virgin sexpot ubergirl, the spinster, the fallen whore woman with child... Denise seems like an OK innocent character at first, but then I realize that she's unwittingly and unforgivably throwing all of her female co-workers under the bus at one point or the other with a big smile on her face. Blondie gets coddled like the favorite daughter of the store, whole the stereotypical brunette "whore" gets slighted, and the elderly matron manager is made to look like a fool, and it makes me cringe. Morey seems downright unlikable, although I get the impression that he's supposed to be one of the "good guys". I want to tell the monied heiress who chased him, "Run AWAY! He just wants your money while he bonks the shop girls!" I can't give it no stars, since I usually enjoy watching anything based on historical events.
Monique Bell First of all, I am torn. In the beginning I couldn't stand Katherine, but, in the second season, I wanted Katherine and John to get back together. I say this because I realize that Denise is an air headed, selfish, little girl. She wants John's shop more than she loves him. I truly believe that Katherine is best for him. Furthermore, I MUST say that, as a fan of Downton Abbey, I've come to love this show so much more. I feel that there's so much more complexity to this story. Sucky part is that this show is over :( As much as the second season is stressing me out because of Denise's innocuous behavior, I wish I could have more and more of this show. RIVOTING!!!!
atamotua-654-93784 witty, moving, adorable, suspenseful, intriguing, and the list goes on... hats off... pun intended... I simply stumbled upon this series by just randomly clicking on my Netflix pages... This show had me from the first few scenes... the amazing music, the place/setting, and people... then as it progressed, the plots, the conversations, the atmosphere, etc... you really have something good to learn from this... good brain and heart food... i was watching the screen, but i could feel it, smell it, touch it... very captivating... I really wish there were more shows like this... or that this one would never end... I did not really want to say much about this show because I simply just want you to try it and see how good it is for yourself, without too much of my input on it (but i'm forced to enter at least 10 lines) I'm in love...
aditikadambi What stupid female on earth would fall for a man when she was doing so well in her uncle's business? Episode 7 , Denice proudly states "she wants to make a mark for herself rather than joining The paradise" and next you know she runs blindly into her old employer seeking her position back just because her uncle said so.I mean this is a shitty show.Why couldn't the writer think for a second before falling for those stupid TRP ratings ? Why cant shows portray woman stronger not just business aspect but love as well.Why do they get weak in their knees ?The characters are rather irritating and confusing.Somewhere i feel they were trying to copy Downtown Abbey !. But they failed.
