Indian Summers

Indian Summers Premiere Review and Recap — Secrets and Sabotage

Indian Summers is a series on PBS’s highly acclaimed Masterpiece Theatre. It is set in the 1930s, in the exotic country of India which is still a colony of Great Britain. There is a famous adage “the empire on which the sun never sets,” and that was applied to the British Empire in the 19th and 20th centuries. Indian Summers weaves a story of Indian and British people living together in what was considered the jewel in Great Britain’s crown, India.

Poldark TV Review – A Romantic Period Drama To Swoon Over

As soon as I heard the BBC was doing an adaptation of Poldark with Aidan Turner in the lead role, I knew this was going to be a series to watch out for. With Turner’s on-screen charisma and striking, almost wild good looks there literally was no one else who could play the moody, Byronic but loveable and heroic Poldark. Apparently the writer, Debbie Horsfield, felt the same. He was offered the role without an audition and the rest is history.
