In reply to Darlene Payne. It's a shame they canceled this series! It did have a lot of potential. Sadly, I don't think they'll renew it at this point.

I’m not a literary genius BUT. I was carried away into the India culture as I watched Beecham House. The costumes are magnificent and looked
Very real to me. I loved the animals and enjoyed each character in this series! This time during history was very interesting to me. We loved the viceroys house series too. I’m so sad they have cancelled and left us with the cliffhanger!!!! Don’t even have a book to read. I hope they will revisit their choice and not cancel this series.

In reply to Jen. Yes, I agree. The ending would have been fine if ITV hadn't canceled it. They've been canceling too many shows lately.

In reply to Reina. Hi, Reina. I definitely recommend giving it another try. :) While I would love to see a new British period drama with the Indian characters being central, I do think this is still a step in the right direction. It is about John, but I don't think the Indian characters are sidelined. They're important to the show, even though John is the main character. I think it helps that Chadha wrote it. But again, this isn't a production everyone will like. But if you take it for what it is, romantic melodrama, you might enjoy it!

I’m glad you reviewed this! I may give it another try. Since I have PBS Passport, I watched episode 1 before it aired, and even though I love Chadha’s other work, and this is a sumptuous production, I wasn’t interested enough to keep watching. Some other minor issues aside, the main drawback to me was the Indian characters not being centered, rather it seemed to be John and his family.
