I have to admit that I have not watched Poldark! Sigh!
ReplyDeleteYou would probably like it, it airs at PBS Masterpiece over there.
Deletei almost started this series after I finished Young & Hungry, but knew there was one more season coming up. Maybe as soon as I’m through House, I’ll get started on Poldark.
ReplyDeleteYou will probably like it, it has a nostalgic feel of old 80s costume drama that we do not get anymore. It is very decent and refined.
DeleteAll the more reason for me to look forward to it then :)
DeleteYou won't regret it!
DeleteCostumes, lights and gazes are captivating!
ReplyDeleteAnd Cornish background too :)
