This series is very endearing! There are some surprises and several character stories going on at once. All the actors are very good in this. It is so like the time period and I found it very humorous! Quite a joy for my husband and I both to watch!

Such an entertaining mini-series. You get so connected to the characters. There are some very sad parts (true to Gaskell style) and some amazingly funny parts. Well acted and extremely well written. Always a happy ending, which I love. :)

One of the best series ever watched. Only England could do such a period piece - wonderful.

Many good and thorough reviews have already been written on the movie but I wanted to just add my 5 stars to the rest.
I've been buying period movies from time to time trying to find a classic like Pride and Prejudice (with Colin Firth), Wives and Daughters and Sense and Sensability (with Emma T) and I have been sadly frustrated with my purchases lately. Then I bought this and it was TOTALLY worth it. It was wonderful and I enjoyed every minute of it. Lots of different story lines intertwined and most come to a happy ending. I'm very glad I bought this movie and listened to the good reviews!

This show was just plain perfection. The acting was wonderful (as was the casting) and the seamless story (a compilation of 3 of Gaskell's stories) was just impecably done.

This was such a pleasure to watch. I cannot rave enough about how well done this production was. There is just not a lot more to say about this fabulous show....
