Parade's End (2012)
10/10
Needed 10 episodes to do justice to Ford Maddox Ford

An outstanding series for the director and all actors. Having read the four books by Ford Maddox Ford, I was disappointed so much good material was not included in the script. Considerable history of Christopher's family, for which he was so fiercely devoted, was not included. Christopher's personality would be more understandable to an audience if they knew more about him. Young Valentine was not developed as a character nearly as fully as I would have hoped. I wanted more, I tell you, far more....this wonderful novel deserved 10 episodes to do it justice.

The acting, photography, costumes and sets are superb. Rebecca Hall was perfect. Americans like myself will struggle with the sound and the actor's words now and then. However, that provides an excuse to watch the series repeatedly until satisfied. Thank you for this wonderful production.
