Poldark: Episode #2.1 (2016)
Episode 1, Season 2
Disappointing

I am beginning to wonder if Aidan Turner was not the attraction that he is, if this series would simply fall by the wayside. As a devoted fan of Graham's "Poldark" novels and the original mid-1970's Masterpiece Theater series, I did enjoy the 2015 remake despite its rather cliff note format of the books. Thus far, the second season appears to take the cliff note version to even greater extremes, and the acting is not on par with the first season, despite the talents of its cast. At times, I felt as though I were watching a failed attempt at imposing the 19th century Regency style of Jane Austen onto the 18th century and it not only does not work, it is sorely disappointing. I may or may not continue watching. It will depend on my mood.
