Melodrama, Late 19th/Early 20th Century, Complex Relationships, Emotional
What an absolutely captivating and whirlwind drama series. The art direction is stunning; like a painting, every scene is layered with color and complexity. The acting is superb. Damian Lewis's portrayal of Soames Forsyte is excruciatingly superb. I found myself cringing and becoming totally furious at his character but someone also sympathizing. Both seasons of the saga are intense in the stories and scenes, characters and utterly complicated relationships. If you enjoy soap operas and melodramas, this is for you. If you love period dramas that are lovingly crafted and timeless, this is for you.
