One of the best period romance series ever written and portrayed on TV. Really showed how abiding, sacrificial love can survive sickness and health, better and worse, richer and poorer, etc. and still allow people to make mistakes and be forgiven and grow as individuals and as a couple. I also appreciate how the love scenes were handled with dignity to the actors and left the graphic details to the imagination of the viewer. Wish more modern TV would do the same.
yes, absolutely agree with how the love scenes were portrayed. And of course, credit to the actors how their chemistry on screen just came right out of the TV to the viewer. Though I venture to say the sacrificial love part back then was merely out of necessity - mainly because there was no other choice. If women like Demelza and Elizabeth had the necessary education and more so the world back in those times wasn't as male chauvinistic then they would probably not have put up with some of the issues they had to endure. Bottom line Elizabeth was a spoiled miss goody two shoe who expected to be catered to (based on her looks) and who suffered from entitlement. Demelza was - as Ross recognized the stronger one, more likely to survive and stand up for what she believed was the right thing to do and of course stood up for justice. Elizabeth was too coward for that. She just took the path of least resistance. Can't rightly say whether one should blame her for it as that to her meant survival. Where I am also the stronger personality who tends to stand up for what I believe is the right thing to do regardless of the price to pay - only because I can afford to be so stubborn.
Being two years post my husband’s infidelity I cannot even explain how impactful this series has been. I never heard of it till recently, but I so needed it. There are no examples on tv of love that pushes through a lack of judgement as this, infidelity. Everything is: once a cheater always a cheater. Divorce his sorry a** etc. But this story had been so powerful, for our case is similar where my husband is repentant. Seeing Damelza’s anger and her thoughts and feelings was also so validating too. I’m only just starting season 3
And when Damelza tells him that she used to revere him and that her pride in him was broken, I cried because that is exactly how I felt about my husband. I would put my hands in the fire for him. I no longer idolize him, he is human. And in many ways it made me realize just like Damelza that he is lucky to have me by his side. This series couldn’t have come at a better time in my life. I would have hated it if I had seen it before the affair. I would have hated Ross and been so put off by it all, I wouldn’t have continued watching. But now…now I can appreciate how real it is. The most real love story I have ever seen on screen
Fell in love with this series! I can watch it over and over. I love Aiden and Eleanor's chemistry. Demelzas's character's got spunk, she's a hard worker, a great partner and loves Ross. Ross's a mans, man don't have many of his kind in our day and age. Love it! 😍
I watched all 5 seasons in five days in a row just recently and I LOVED it!! Absolutely brilliant show, great cast, wonderful storyline, Cornwall, the music, just perfect. I CRIED LIKE A BABY after the last episode. I will miss POLDARK deeply !!
For sure. 5 episodes left: I shall cry 😢. Hehe 😉 have been Binge watching. Couldn’t stop once I started & had no idea something in this day and time could be so memorable. Thanks to all involved...🤗
Wow! I just binged watched this show after putting it off for so long. I'm glad I finally sat down and enjoyed it after catching parts of episodes here and there. I was captive from the very first episode. The characters were OUTSTANDING! Some I fell in love with, some I loathed, but I know that's what normally happens if the story and the characters are exceptional. Now that I have finished it, I don't want to let it go. The writing, the characters, the storylines kept me mesmerized. Season 5 left me wanting more and when I found out there would be no Season 6 I was heartbroken. GREAT JOB to all associated with the making of the series. Thank you Masterpiece for bringing these books alive and touching us with love, laughter, heartache, tears, and so many more emotions the characters made us feel. I hope that you will one day continue this series and bring them back into our homes.
My thoughts are yours exactly. I’m watching it since last Thursday and the last 5 episodes tonight. I will be sad. Such a great escape from today’s world....❤️
@@alm3texas I was binge watching as well. But Disney+ stopped all at once the series. Can’t find another streaming channel in my country. Very frustrating because I adore the series and was blocked after season 3 episode 3!
Best series. Brilliant acting. Just recently discovered this amazing series. The tears and the laughs. Totally hooked. One is drawn into the story by the actors in the superb portrayal of their characters. Pity it's only 5 seasons.
I completely agree with everything you say! Hooked indeed I am too. In fact so very much hooked, that I didn't finish looking series 5, partly because I found the storyline very far fetched and boring, but also to have the feeling that there's still some episodes left, just in case there will never be a series 6. They can't leave us like this, I feel abandoned without them😩😂!
I remember seeing on one interview where Eleanor is asked what it is she thinks makes the series "Poldark" so successful; given the amazing actors, their chemistry together and the beautiful scenery - the real reason it is so successful in my opinion is because good triumphs over evil - love over hate and envy, beauty triumphs over ugly and empathy over greed. The way men held each other to such a standard of being a gentlemen and the way the woman loved and supported their husbands and family despite them being ignored and neglected, the way they stuck together to build a life was just so precious and tremendous.... the way society is today, I think so many people want to go back to this innocence somehow!!
We can t enough praise the cameramen, directors, light specialists, photography experts, colour specialists, costumers… almost each picture is worth painting. You can hardly imagine how often i freeze the image just to enjoy the atmosphere and the beautiful picture. This is definitely the most artistic series ever realised!
I fell in love with the story since the very begging! I'm a big Outlander's fan but I must recognize that this one has became a new favorite for me. Great actors and characters so well played. It's a shame that producers won't continue the story after season five
Outlander is so overrated for me. The gore and the sexual scenes are almost too much. I think Poldark did a great job of not overtly portraying the risque.
One of the most stunning series I've ever watched. I finished season 5, and even though I will miss it, I have to be grateful for such a fantastic ending.
Season 5 starts Sunday here in the states . been staying away from bits and pieces they show on utube. Want to see what happens with drake and norwenna . lol be well
@@leethomas5830 I'm in the States, too, but I couldn't wait and preordered the Blu-ray from the UK. Anyone can do that if they have an all-region player. At any rate, enjoy! I loved so much about season 5, but I will save my specific comments. I know how you feel about not having spoilers. This was the first season I really didn't know what would happen since I'd been a fan of the 70s version, which also ended at the end of season 4. Season 5 was very exciting and suspenseful! I just hope they don't cut too many crucial scenes in the TV version.
@@wendyscott8425 . can't wait to see this . I've seen they have 70s version . havnt checked it out . but read Winston Graham poldark novels . pretty darn close at times . thanks for not going into details 😞 . lol not on Facebook to Finnish this conversation so going to say be well and be safe out there . live in Michigan close to lake Erie . so beautiful watching the sail boats at sunset relaxing to say the least .
@@leethomas5830 Season 5 is like getting a whole new novel since it's not based on the books exactly although it doesn't have anything in it that quarrels with what comes up in the later books. I only read the first two and decided I didn't want to read anymore. I wanted my drama dramatic, as much as possible, since I still remembered the basic plot lines from the 70s version.
@@wendyscott8425 hello . watched episode 1 George Has some issues yikes . I felt what Valentine going thru at cemetery . I hear ya about reading the earlier books . like it so much better now. be great to visit Cornwall around shoreline breathtaking . courous who thru the fire bomb. Norwenna still skiddish I see. That girl delmelza hired something sneaky about her lol. Enjoy your evening. be well Wendy.
Well, the actors are REAL people and they probably want to move on to other projects! In the show, they played the characters for almost 20 years, and in real life they spent 5! It's a lot! I am so glad and so proud of how well they did though. They gave us an absolute gem of a show.
wonderful scene - loved the punch/slap - she did not hold back!! and then to tell him those things from the middle of the bed - totally in charge - just amazing - the excuses he was making and expecting to be accepted !! he deserved that one punch and more!! wonderful actors, just wonderful
Love this show,I've watched every episode of it over 10 times,still watching it,I will truly miss this couple, and now I look for similar shows,have not found any that come near it,I need my R&D fix,PLEASE make more.
@@angiew5812 Really? I didn't like any of the characters and gave up after the first season. I found the evil Black Jack Randall so over the top as to be completely unbelievable. And that last episode did it for me. I took it off my DVR schedule after that. Gross and awful.
@@wendyscott8425 it's not for everyone. This series is also based on a series of books. The ending you are talking about with Jack was difficult to watch. This show is awesome for me. It gets better and better.
@@angiew5812,I agree,Blackjack scenes were awful, I fastforwarded it everytime,the love scenes were almost porn to me,but I loved how Jamie loved her,a love such as his is a woman's wish,but poldard isn't as dark as Outlander and that's why I loved it more,we get a chance to see Poldard in a different environment which to me made it that much more romantic, although I so love Jamie's devotion to Clarie,there's so much more sadness in Outlander, but I will watch the new season.
Gran serie en todos los sentidos los dos son guapisimos y grandes actores la historia la musica el pais aje todo es maravilloso fuerza y pasion Poldark❤🔥🔥💋🌹
Well, he is 9 years older than she is, but I'm with you. I can't believe she wouldn't have been head over heals. :) She did admit he's gorgeous! Apparently, she dated Harry Richardson for a while. Now there's someone I wouldn't mind either! This show was just full of male eye candy!
@@wendyscott8425 she was 21 and he 30 when they began filming. He likewise said she was gorgeous and "hard not to fall in love with her" - maybe they agreed to keep it professional - as he said if they didn't get along the viewers would recognize it. I think they made an amazing couple off screen as well as on.
Robin Ellis was an amazing Poldark in the original, but this cast made the new Poldark so compelling and great! Good acting all around, and Jack Farthing showing the most nuance and range.
I thought Heida was fantastic as Elizabeth. I couldn't stand the original Elizabeth in the old version - trite, two dimensional character. But Heida really brought out the conflict and dichotomy Elizabeth had to live with. She could have fallen into the trap of making Elizabeth a hated character who got in the way of Ross and Demelza, but instead she made her a more sympathetic character caught in a passionless marriage and knowing she lost Ross.
I hummed along with the opening music; it was so beautiful, evocative. Loved the series. I'm in the US so we got it after the Brits, in the winter. Kept me warm during the coldest months. ❤️
I'm currently reading the books and the series did a GREAT GREAT job of portraying the books! The series really does the book justice. Winston Graham would be proud.
As an 84 yr old movie goer, I can state that I have seen some wonderful and some awful performances and productions. In these days, I am saddened to see the "tripe" that is being produced.. and shockingly that goes for foreign films as well? But oh, the POLDARK series has given me hope that real talented people, in front, and behind the cameras proves that GREATNESS can be delivered. Bless all involved with Poldark.....my love of fine movie making is alive and well. As for sensuous scenes, the final scene of part 5 with Turner and Tomlinson on the hillside gazing lovingly, tenderly, committed kissing. Can only be compared with Ms Bergman in Casa Blanca. Anyone produce a poster of Turner and Tomlinson.....Please let me know. Bye, bye.
I loved the original series with Robin Ellis and Angharad Rees so much that I've not watched this version. Is it that good or has it been modernised so much it's unrecognisable?
@@voulafisentzidis8830 the modern series is more faithful to the books than the seventies series. Read the first book Watch the series and decide for yourself.
@@rachaelbean1439 Hi Rachael. Thanks for your suggestions. I read the books in the 70s and am aware the latest version is truer to the original story. My fear was that the intimacy in the original series will have been replaced with sex, as many modern productions do. I purchased the boxset yesterday as thought it worth the risk. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
@@voulafisentzidis8830 I don't think there is any gratuitous nudity in the sex scenes but Aiden Turner/ Ross take his shirt off a lot! To do wholesome things like farmwork and solo swimming. Everyone in the new series remains the same sex and race as they were in the books. Although I personally don't mind race and sex swaps for fantasy stories like King Arthur and Robin Hood.
THIS iS ROBERTS; WIFE : ANITA : Thank you Masterpiece PBS for bringing this Beautiful story Poldark to us. I think Every Actor in it was the right one to play their parts. I hated to see it end and wished it could have played all the way out. There won't be another Story with such Great Actors Ever Again.
My absolute favorite period drama. I watched it for the first time this year and fell completely in love with the story, characters, scenery, and cast. I'm so sad that the 5th season ended the show. I'm currently reading the book series and loving it as well. Maybe one day we can have a new version of the show with the children of Ross and Demelza.
I don't blame Aidan for avoiding questions about the cything scene. So many other scenes with his shirt off that was sexier. In bed, inside the mine, burning his shirt by the water etc. It's the million little things that matter. The kisses that came in threes and ten. The sound of their lips when kissing, hugging and holding hands. I will miss them 💕💓
How lowly those that get all flustered about Aidan without his shirt. Spectacular acting and all that goes in to producing a MASTERPIECE such as Poldark, and one gets OFF on a shirtless guy. Quite telling and sadistic. Bless POLDARK!
The teachable moment for all watchers is the comlexity of a mature love relationship. Like a diamond...many facets. EXCELLENT job on, AND off the screen...such talents.
Yes and the complexity is what makes it relatable to a modern audience. It wasn't the typical storybook period romance and their struggles were real. It felt real to the viewer because of superb writing and incredible acting of both Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson.
So happy to have found this series recently! Am now on my second rerun of the series. A lot of beautiful scenes between Ross and Demelza. Never liked the scenes between Ross and Elizabeth for obvious reasons. I feel so much for Demelza and angry at Ross for hurting her each time (unwittingly, unknowing, unintentionally - whatever he calls it). Why do you have to gallop your way to Trenwith gates and stare at the house (or whoever) after that awful night? Why did you have to go see Elizabeth after you received her letter announcing her marriage to George?! I hated the scenes which followed. Especially when you told Demelza to "get out of my way" I can feel my stomach churn! But I love each time you called Demelza "my love", each time you held her in your arms as you walk, each time you call out her name like you need her, each time you call her "my wife."
Elizabeth was a miss goody two shoe who, in today's terms (rather in MY terms) is a spoiled brat who is infected with entitlement. Thus, Ross' "she was born to be admired." Good lord, could she have been any more highty mighty and undeservedly at that??? Now Demelza could possibly have prevented the dreadful night from happening had she immediately hopped on her horse and followed Ross to Trenwith. Ross would most likely not have gone to the extend with Demelza being in the room upstairs. Now, that type of situation would in all probability have made it just as painfully bad for Demelza because she would have always wondered whether she could now trust Ross that nothing would have happened if she hadn't been there. I did feel a resentful sense of satisfaction when she had her dalliance with Hugh Armitage. Served Ross right. Not that she did it for those very reasons, but the end result was essentially the same. Ross got to walk a mile in her shoes. And the bittersweet salt in the open wound was he actually rescued Hugh Armitage from the French prison. What irony. At any rate, I had no sympathy for Miss Good-Two shoe Elizabeth ever. She made her own bed and so she slept in it as she should have. I had to give Demelza's character a lot of credit for how she coped with Ross' indiscretion. I am not sure how forgiving I would have been. Of course back then when women were at their men's mercy, what much choices did they have? And one more thing. Ross did always stand up for Demelza to anyone who referred to her as his kitchen trull or who commented that she should go back to her scullery. Though at the end of the day, those very comments were also insults to him and his choice of having married her. But I don't think that's why he beat the living daylight out of Georgie or reprimanded Judd Paynter. It was merely to defend her honor.
Good video!!!9/16/22. Rewatching Poldark as I am weary of everybody going hither and thither attempting to bury the Queen. If you never saw Poldark you are in for a treat!!!
the acting and the scripting, oh yeah there was such a fine art in this show! like the quality of acting in the lost of Julia, my Gawd it was SO, i can't define it, i don't have child, but i cry always. And the punch, SO SATISFYING !!!GOOD JOB everyone
Para m i el gran personaje de Poldark es Demelza una mujer valiente, trabajadora, siempre a su lado, pariendo sola, muriéndose su hija, siempre sonriendo, sacándolo todo para adelante y él no estando siempre a su altura, poco expresivo en sus sentimientos y no dándose cuenta de que todos la adoran
I think, having read the books, and watched the series, that the line “see what WE’VE brought her to!” Is the most loaded line in the series. What does that mean? Does George know about Valentine? I think he does. Does he feel guilty about the battle between him and Ross? Is he telling Ross he knows, and that Ross is as guilty as he? Brought her to. But she died in childbirth. He couldn’t possibly know about the tincture that Elizabeth took.🤔. The best and most enigmatic line.
In the 5th series (second episode, I think), Ross does ask George what he meant by that very line. George tells him that it was a combination of Ross's inability to let Elizabeth go and his (George's) UNFOUNDED suspicions that hounded her to an early grave. George tells Ross, "I take my share of the blame -- take yours." (Another great line!) Of course, Ross can't tell him that his suspicions were completely justified. To protect Valentine, he has to let George live with the guilt that will contribute to the madness that nearly destroys him.
I love these two, the best characters of the show!!! I am enjoying the last season; I am sad but I know we will have the re-runs!!! Sunday was hilarious when I saw George running across the field in that camisole looking like a lunatic , I though I was seeing a scene out of the dark ages!!! My son could not believe how much I find this episode enjoyable !!! Ross Poldark keeps me on my toes and I love him for that!!! I want to know everything he will do in the future!!! MERCI CAPTAIN ROSS !!!
I’m just now finishing the whole 12 book series and I SO wish that this tv series would have gone all the way through. The development of Ross and Demelzas relationship is so refreshing after all the drama in their early marriage with Ross/Elizabeth and Demelzas affair. Also the story of their kids is one worth sharing as well. Maybe when these actors age a bit they will finish it 😊
Just finish watching this series, Wow!...and this scene is my most favorite too..i love every one character, they portrayed very well...from season 1 to 5..i really love this series, ..
Loved the story line of Verity, everyone needs a friend like her outstanding and Dr Enis & Caroline so beautiful and romantically captivating what a joy to watch you both and George your acting is incredible and unrelenting..Hugh was a lovely dream come true..
Hello to the great actors, the director and the whole team, I enjoyed watching all the seasons of the series. two episodes left to watch and I wish the series to go on and on. Many years ago my dear mother used to watch the first version of Poldark, I sat next to her and watched. Thank you for a great game! Complements from a Literary Researcher, Israel.🙏🏻😍🙋🏻♀️🌷🌷
The Scything scene?..all I saw were the pretty flowers 💐!!😉 I used the Poldark series as an example of beautiful photography for my college photo class.
I loved this series. Outlander is good, but often the time travel is too jarring. Poldark was a story that just continued to move forward. It’s unfortunate that it ended after book four. There are several more books in the series, with beautiful and heartbreaking stories. It would be fabulous for the original cast to come back together at some point and tell the rest of the Poldark story!
Can you you tell me what the difference is between outlander and highlander? I just got into watching Poldark. I wanted so much to watch something with a downton abbey air and went searching and found Poldark. But I have heard of outlander in passing and also highlander? Are they connected?
I just love this series ❤ so much..I have watched and re watched so many times . It has to be good for me to keep watching over and over..My granddaughter, Nana you watching Poldark again..I just smile and say yes..It's crazy I've watched so much I know the lines. Great Acting 👍. Now waiting on the books ...I can't wait to get them...
They’ve given us two Downton movies and yet they still can’t give us one Poldark movie. Come on man!
I love the way Ross call ''Demelza" whenever he returns home
Yes! He always calls her
It is sweet isn’t it. There was a scene where he even called on Garrick 😅. Reminded me of my Dad - he always called me on my Mom whenever he got home.
Take that dress off now, right now!
@@leahflower9924 Will do 🤣
It reminds me of when Fred Flintstone comes home and says "Wilma"!
My absolute favorite scene was when Demelza back handed Ross. Whenever Ross does thoughtless things, Demelza comes right back at him! I love it

When Ross walks in and sees Demelza "singing to Hugh" is one of my favourite scenes. So much going on in the space of a song.
The writing, acting, cinematography and everything in this series was magnificent!
Don't forget the music!
I love that scene where Demelza is singing to Ross. The looks on everyone's faces say so much.
Agreed, I want more
Me too.
My goodness! I love that scene! With all the scenes, that is my favorite. I don't know why because there are so many wonderful scenes.❤️

Question: Do both Ross and Demelza know that Valentine is Ross' son? Do others know?
@@teresagrant9392 I think Ross knows and Demelza suspects.
Outlander is so overrated for me. The gore and the sexual scenes are almost too much. I think Poldark did a great job of not overtly portraying the risque.
I love this show!! I wish we could see more dialogue about some of the different scenes. The actors are so brilliant!
I agree
I love the actors but I find myself yelling at the tv for them to say something. The dialog is lacking. All we get are weird looks.
One of the most stunning series I've ever watched. I finished season 5, and even though I will miss it, I have to be grateful for such a fantastic ending.
Season 5 starts Sunday here in the states . been staying away from bits and pieces they show on utube. Want to see what happens with drake and norwenna . lol be well
@@leethomas5830 I'm in the States, too, but I couldn't wait and preordered the Blu-ray from the UK. Anyone can do that if they have an all-region player. At any rate, enjoy! I loved so much about season 5, but I will save my specific comments. I know how you feel about not having spoilers. This was the first season I really didn't know what would happen since I'd been a fan of the 70s version, which also ended at the end of season 4. Season 5 was very exciting and suspenseful! I just hope they don't cut too many crucial scenes in the TV version.
@@wendyscott8425 . can't wait to see this . I've seen they have 70s version . havnt checked it out . but read Winston Graham poldark novels . pretty darn close at times . thanks for not going into details 😞 . lol not on Facebook to Finnish this conversation so going to say be well and be safe out there . live in Michigan close to lake Erie . so beautiful watching the sail boats at sunset relaxing to say the least .
@@leethomas5830 Season 5 is like getting a whole new novel since it's not based on the books exactly although it doesn't have anything in it that quarrels with what comes up in the later books. I only read the first two and decided I didn't want to read anymore. I wanted my drama dramatic, as much as possible, since I still remembered the basic plot lines from the 70s version.
@@wendyscott8425 hello . watched episode 1 George
Has some issues yikes . I felt what Valentine going thru at cemetery . I hear ya about reading the earlier books . like it so much better now. be great to visit Cornwall around shoreline breathtaking . courous who thru the fire bomb. Norwenna still skiddish I see. That girl delmelza hired something sneaky about her lol. Enjoy your evening. be well Wendy.
I want more seasons in Poldark !!! the novel has so many books ! Why stopping in the middle of the story ? Please, I want to see the follow-up.
Didn’t realize. YES to more of this storytelling.... such a great escape from today’s crazies., Loved every minute...
Well, the actors are REAL people and they probably want to move on to other projects! In the show, they played the characters for almost 20 years, and in real life they spent 5! It's a lot! I am so glad and so proud of how well they did though. They gave us an absolute gem of a show.
@@kathleenisabellastanford6861 agree, im so inlove this series...and hoping there is season 6,7,8,9,10...
wonderful scene - loved the punch/slap - she did not hold back!! and then to tell him those things from the middle of the bed - totally in charge - just amazing - the excuses he was making and expecting to be accepted !! he deserved that one punch and more!! wonderful actors, just wonderful
Aiden is gorgeous 😍
Beyond.... love his longer hair..
The best cast ever hands down
I wish they would bring this show back! I miss them so very much!
This series was amazing! All the actors were exceptional! Well done!
Love this show,I've watched every episode of it over 10 times,still watching it,I will truly miss this couple, and now I look for similar shows,have not found any that come near it,I need my R&D fix,PLEASE make more.
Please give the show Outlander a try! You will love it
@@angiew5812 ,I have watched Outlander from day one.
@@angiew5812 Really? I didn't like any of the characters and gave up after the first season. I found the evil Black Jack Randall so over the top as to be completely unbelievable. And that last episode did it for me. I took it off my DVR schedule after that. Gross and awful.
@@wendyscott8425 it's not for everyone. This series is also based on a series of books. The ending you are talking about with Jack was difficult to watch. This show is awesome for me. It gets better and better.
@@angiew5812,I agree,Blackjack scenes were awful, I fastforwarded it everytime,the love scenes were almost porn to me,but I loved how Jamie loved her,a love such as his is a woman's wish,but poldard isn't as dark as Outlander and that's why I loved it more,we get a chance to see Poldard in a different environment which to me made it that much more romantic, although I so love Jamie's devotion to Clarie,there's so much more sadness in Outlander, but I will watch the new season.
Gran serie en todos los sentidos los dos son guapisimos y grandes actores la historia la musica el pais
aje todo es maravilloso fuerza y pasion Poldark❤🔥🔥💋🌹
I can't believe that these actors aren't a couple in real life
Well, he is 9 years older than she is, but I'm with you. I can't believe she wouldn't have been head over heals. :) She did admit he's gorgeous! Apparently, she dated Harry Richardson for a while. Now there's someone I wouldn't mind either! This show was just full of male eye candy!
@@wendyscott8425 she was 21 and he 30 when they began filming. He likewise said she was gorgeous and "hard not to fall in love with her" - maybe they agreed to keep it professional - as he said if they didn't get along the viewers would recognize it. I think they made an amazing couple off screen as well as on.
@@ellieg40 I do remember either one or both of them saying how close they'd become as friends. I can imagine after all those years.
@@ellieg40 I think that was the best - imagine if they weren't together now, Eleanor couldn't talk about Poldark with passion
He just got married to Caitlin Fitzgerald, I read. She seems like a nice, down to earth person, as well. I am very happy for him.
The most beautiful série I ever watch well done❤️❤️great actor!
I just finished watching/streaming POLDARK. it was the best show, I've watched in a long long time. Demelza and Ross' chemistry is so real. LOVEd it.
Robin Ellis was an amazing Poldark in the original, but this cast made the new Poldark so compelling and great! Good acting all around, and Jack Farthing showing the most nuance and range.
I thought Heida was fantastic as Elizabeth. I couldn't stand the original Elizabeth in the old version - trite, two dimensional character. But Heida really brought out the conflict and dichotomy Elizabeth had to live with. She could have fallen into the trap of making Elizabeth a hated character who got in the way of Ross and Demelza, but instead she made her a more sympathetic character caught in a passionless marriage and knowing she lost Ross.
One of the most beautiful couple and serial ❤❤🇬🇷🇬🇷
Fabulous acting, directing, music aesthetics.
Watching Poldark again and again, love Ross and Demelza, their love and sometimes complicated one. Hope, they will have Season 6.
The writing, the incredible acting is as gripping and fresh every time I rewatch these scenes. Only a handful of shows do that for me.
I feel like like there should be another season of poldark. Things were left unfinished in my opinion 😂
God how I wish there was another season ❤️
I hummed along with the opening music; it was so beautiful, evocative. Loved the series. I'm in the US so we got it after the Brits, in the winter. Kept me warm during the coldest months. ❤️
I do wish it could go on forever I wish for more seasons I just love Ross and Demelza
Drake and norweena
Was great. young love. At one time we all felt that nervousness sweaty palms heart racing.
I'm currently reading the books and the series did a GREAT GREAT job of portraying the books! The series really does the book justice. Winston Graham would be proud.
As an 84 yr old movie goer, I can state that I have seen some wonderful and some awful performances and productions. In these days, I am saddened to see the "tripe" that is being produced.. and shockingly that goes for foreign films as well?
But oh, the POLDARK series has given me hope that real talented people, in front, and behind the cameras proves that GREATNESS can be delivered. Bless all involved with Poldark.....my love of fine movie making is alive and well.
As for sensuous scenes, the final scene of part 5 with Turner and Tomlinson on the hillside gazing lovingly, tenderly, committed kissing. Can only be compared with Ms Bergman in Casa Blanca. Anyone produce a poster of Turner and Tomlinson.....Please let me know. Bye, bye.
Absolutely. Amazing Series.. Amazing.....
I loved the original series with Robin Ellis and Angharad Rees so much that I've not watched this version. Is it that good or has it been modernised so much it's unrecognisable?
@@voulafisentzidis8830 the modern series is more faithful to the books than the seventies series. Read the first book Watch the series and decide for yourself.
@@rachaelbean1439 Hi Rachael. Thanks for your suggestions. I read the books in the 70s and am aware the latest version is truer to the original story. My fear was that the intimacy in the original series will have been replaced with sex, as many modern productions do. I purchased the boxset yesterday as thought it worth the risk. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
@@voulafisentzidis8830 I don't think there is any gratuitous nudity in the sex scenes but Aiden Turner/ Ross take his shirt off a lot! To do wholesome things like farmwork and solo swimming. Everyone in the new series remains the same sex and race as they were in the books. Although I personally don't mind race and sex swaps for fantasy stories like King Arthur and Robin Hood.
Love this show so much!
how I wish you would continue Poldark. I missed it very much!
Aidan should play Beethoven in a movie! He d be perfect !
My favourite scene is still the one where Damelza is about to leave Ross and she gives hom a piece of her mind 'I'll not be second best'
THIS iS ROBERTS; WIFE : ANITA :
Thank you Masterpiece PBS for bringing this Beautiful story Poldark to us. I think Every Actor in it was the right one to play their parts. I hated to see it end and wished it could have played all the way out. There won't be another Story with such Great Actors Ever Again.
MORE MORE MORE POLDARK !!!!!!!!
The best actors in any show,all of them.
SHOULD MAKE MORE SEASON'S FOR THIS THE SHOW IS GREAT WILL WIN MORE AWARDS
That was wonderful! Every scene was a favorite! Thanks for such great acting!! Thanks!
My absolute favorite period drama. I watched it for the first time this year and fell completely in love with the story, characters, scenery, and cast. I'm so sad that the 5th season ended the show. I'm currently reading the book series and loving it as well. Maybe one day we can have a new version of the show with the children of Ross and Demelza.
wher did you watch it i can’t find it anywhere
"It is not my pride that is wounded Ross, it is my pride in you"
Worlds collide.these two were fated for each other.
I don't blame Aidan for avoiding questions about the cything scene. So many other scenes with his shirt off that was sexier. In bed, inside the mine, burning his shirt by the water etc. It's the million little things that matter. The kisses that came in threes and ten. The sound of their lips when kissing, hugging and holding hands. I will miss them 💕💓
but it was the scything scene that put the show high in the ratings - he knew what he was doing and why.
How lowly those that get all flustered about Aidan without his shirt. Spectacular acting and all that goes in to producing a MASTERPIECE such as Poldark, and one gets OFF on a shirtless guy. Quite telling and sadistic. Bless POLDARK!
The teachable moment for all watchers is the comlexity of a mature love relationship. Like a diamond...many facets. EXCELLENT job on, AND off the screen...such talents.
Yes and the complexity is what makes it relatable to a modern audience. It wasn't the typical storybook period romance and their struggles were real. It felt real to the viewer because of superb writing and incredible acting of both Aidan Turner and Eleanor Tomlinson.
i loved that series!!..doesn’t compare to any other!!
What is the title of this drama? Please. Tq
A true masterpiece! Everything was perfect!
So happy to have found this series recently! Am now on my second rerun of the series. A lot of beautiful scenes between Ross and Demelza. Never liked the scenes between Ross and Elizabeth for obvious reasons. I feel so much for Demelza and angry at Ross for hurting her each time (unwittingly, unknowing, unintentionally - whatever he calls it). Why do you have to gallop your way to Trenwith gates and stare at the house (or whoever) after that awful night? Why did you have to go see Elizabeth after you received her letter announcing her marriage to George?! I hated the scenes which followed. Especially when you told Demelza to "get out of my way" I can feel my stomach churn! But I love each time you called Demelza "my love", each time you held her in your arms as you walk, each time you call out her name like you need her, each time you call her "my wife."
Elizabeth was a miss goody two shoe who, in today's terms (rather in MY terms) is a spoiled brat who is infected with entitlement. Thus, Ross' "she was born to be admired." Good lord, could she have been any more highty mighty and undeservedly at that??? Now Demelza could possibly have prevented the dreadful night from happening had she immediately hopped on her horse and followed Ross to Trenwith. Ross would most likely not have gone to the extend with Demelza being in the room upstairs. Now, that type of situation would in all probability have made it just as painfully bad for Demelza because she would have always wondered whether she could now trust Ross that nothing would have happened if she hadn't been there. I did feel a resentful sense of satisfaction when she had her dalliance with Hugh Armitage. Served Ross right. Not that she did it for those very reasons, but the end result was essentially the same. Ross got to walk a mile in her shoes. And the bittersweet salt in the open wound was he actually rescued Hugh Armitage from the French prison. What irony. At any rate, I had no sympathy for Miss Good-Two shoe Elizabeth ever. She made her own bed and so she slept in it as she should have. I had to give Demelza's character a lot of credit for how she coped with Ross' indiscretion. I am not sure how forgiving I would have been. Of course back then when women were at their men's mercy, what much choices did they have? And one more thing. Ross did always stand up for Demelza to anyone who referred to her as his kitchen trull or who commented that she should go back to her scullery. Though at the end of the day, those very comments were also insults to him and his choice of having married her. But I don't think that's why he beat the living daylight out of Georgie or reprimanded Judd Paynter. It was merely to defend her honor.
Demelza is always the wisest as she came from the streets.
Good video!!!9/16/22. Rewatching Poldark as I am weary of everybody going hither and thither attempting to bury the Queen. If you never saw Poldark you are in for a treat!!!
My mother also watched the first Poldark which she said was not as good as the remake.
the acting and the scripting, oh yeah there was such a fine art in this show!
like the quality of acting in the lost of Julia, my Gawd it was SO, i can't define it, i don't have child, but i cry always.
And the punch, SO SATISFYING !!!GOOD JOB everyone
They don't make shows like this anymore, it's sad what type of tv we are left with, no quality whatsoever.
A promotional video well done and worthy of this great series.
Para m i el gran personaje de Poldark es Demelza una mujer valiente, trabajadora, siempre a su lado, pariendo sola, muriéndose su hija, siempre sonriendo, sacándolo todo para adelante y él no estando siempre a su altura, poco expresivo en sus sentimientos y no dándose cuenta de que todos la adoran
Brilliant series &actors.i want more🥰🙏🙏🙏
One of my five all time favorites.
I think, having read the books, and watched the series, that the line “see what WE’VE brought her to!” Is the most loaded line in the series. What does that mean? Does George know about Valentine? I think he does. Does he feel guilty about the battle between him and Ross? Is he telling Ross he knows, and that Ross is as guilty as he? Brought her to. But she died in childbirth. He couldn’t possibly know about the tincture that Elizabeth took.🤔. The best and most enigmatic line.
In the 5th series (second episode, I think), Ross does ask George what he meant by that very line. George tells him that it was a combination of Ross's inability to let Elizabeth go and his (George's) UNFOUNDED suspicions that hounded her to an early grave. George tells Ross, "I take my share of the blame -- take yours." (Another great line!) Of course, Ross can't tell him that his suspicions were completely justified. To protect Valentine, he has to let George live with the guilt that will contribute to the madness that nearly destroys him.
Best series EVER
I love these two, the best characters of the show!!! I am enjoying the last season; I am sad but I know we will have the re-runs!!! Sunday was hilarious when I saw George running across the field in that camisole looking like a lunatic , I though I was seeing a scene out of the dark ages!!! My son could not believe how much I find this episode enjoyable !!! Ross Poldark keeps me on my toes and I love him for that!!! I want to know everything he will do in the future!!! MERCI CAPTAIN ROSS !!!
I have not even watched the series but these rushes give you goosebumps. Actors are just gorgeous and brilliant. 😊
Fantasztikus volt imádtam minden percét.... remélem lesz folytatása.
This is the best movie we’ve seen in a long time. Hollywood is no comparison with actors or acting.
So beautiful.. I binged watched it and I am so sad that’s not coming back
I’m just now finishing the whole 12 book series and I SO wish that this tv series would have gone all the way through. The development of Ross and Demelzas relationship is so refreshing after all the drama in their early marriage with Ross/Elizabeth and Demelzas affair. Also the story of their kids is one worth sharing as well. Maybe when these actors age a bit they will finish it 😊
I am just starting the books. I wanted this show to continue as well.
Just finish watching this series, Wow!...and this scene is my most favorite too..i love every one character, they portrayed very well...from season 1 to 5..i really love this series, ..
Oh my gosh bring it back 💕💕
And have the main characters replaced by black-Africans like Idris Elba? No. Leave as it is, racially pure and wholesome.
I hope they continue this series
Loved the story line of Verity, everyone needs a friend like her outstanding and Dr Enis & Caroline so beautiful and romantically captivating what a joy to watch you both and George your acting is incredible and unrelenting..Hugh was a lovely dream come true..
Really enjoy the show. The great and nuanced acting, as well as beautiful landscape and cinematography, make up for the cornball romance novel bits.
Hello to the great actors, the director and the whole team, I enjoyed watching all the seasons of the series. two episodes left to watch and I wish the series to go on and on.
Many years ago my dear mother used to watch the first version of Poldark, I sat next to her and watched.
Thank you for a great game! Complements from a Literary Researcher, Israel.🙏🏻😍🙋🏻♀️🌷🌷
Over here teary eyed at the Julia scene Again
My all time favorite show ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
love this series so much
The Scything scene?..all I saw were the pretty flowers 💐!!😉 I used the Poldark series as an example of beautiful photography for my college photo class.
I’ve watched series 5-4x’s. Absolutely loved it!
Si danno troppi baci Demelza e Ross.
Wonderful actors and story 😍😍 absolutly fan
I loved this series. Outlander is good, but often the time travel is too jarring. Poldark was a story that just continued to move forward. It’s unfortunate that it ended after book four. There are several more books in the series, with beautiful and heartbreaking stories. It would be fabulous for the original cast to come back together at some point and tell the rest of the Poldark story!
Can you you tell me what the difference is between outlander and highlander? I just got into watching Poldark. I wanted so much to watch something with a downton abbey air and went searching and found Poldark. But I have heard of outlander in passing and also highlander? Are they connected?
I just love this series ❤ so much..I have watched and re watched so many times . It has to be good for me to keep watching over and over..My granddaughter, Nana you watching Poldark again..I just smile and say yes..It's crazy I've watched so much I know the lines. Great Acting 👍. Now waiting on the books ...I can't wait to get them...
