Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read the books as a girl and have read them over and over for years. Many times considering I am 73 years of age. I own the 1970's series and I loved it BUT this one is much better, so much better. I have been anticipating this new season so much and am so hoping they carry this series further than the 1970 series went. I just finished the premiere of season 2 and I loved it. These characters are so good.. Came right to my computer and ordered the digital series and am now going to order it on DVD. I want it in every way possible. Do yourself a favor and buy season one and two and watch this season on TV as well so they will keep it going!! I AM LOVING this series. It is staying so much closer to the books and doing a fabulous job of seamlessly condensing the story lines from the book. Some changes but so far not major ones. I don't know how they will take this to the end, but there are some fantastic story lines as the books go deeper. Aging would not be a problem and some of the interesting plots could be advanced a little. I would dearly love to see Demelza's late pregnancy for instance, and love to see them with 4 children. But also Ross has so many terrific adventures, I would love to see those. Aging is not difficult in this day and age but will the actors be willing, because it would not work with new actors at all. My fingers are crossed but this is fabulous, everyone read the books and then watch the series and you will see how closely they are honoring the books which I love!!
