Review (PDF) Poldark: PBS BBC Season 1 Episode Guide
When the BBC decided to raise the 70s bodice-ripper Poldark from the crypt the ghosts of reboots past howled their protest. Yet what emerged was a thrilling, funny and moving tale of a conflicted aristo with a big heart and the kind of sex appeal that makes prime Mister Darcy look like John Merrick. Because to call the new Ross Poldark Aidan Turner a man is to do him a disservice. He's the kind of demigod who the moment he walks through the door sends women sliding off their chairs and log-fluming around the room in a figure-of-eight formation that continues until his exit. This Poldark has the face of Michael Hutchene's hotter, harder, younger brother, the body of Adonis and the kind of smoulder that sets forest fire ranges for months in California. TV critic James Donaghy guides you through the betrayal, lust, despair and joy as Captain Ross seeks to single-handedly right every wrong 18th-century Cornwall can throw at him. Relive each guilty pleasure, especially – well you know the ones. PLEASE have a care and take a quick look at the free sample before you buy. This particular style may not be your thing and that's fine. I'd like to avoid those "this apple is not an orange!" reviews.If it is your thing then you will find a warm welcome here. Godspeed you, you filthy beasts.

I must admit I do not appreciate Mr. Donaghy's use of profanity in every other sentence. However I am not so prudish that I cannot appreciate good wit . Donaghy writes in a way that had me laughing out loud several times. If you enjoy a vulgar wit , and you're a Poldark fan, you will want this episode guide.
Deserves ZERO stars. Please don't waste your money on this sorry piece of trash and especially your time reading this carp. The "writing style" is only slightly better than locker room trash talk at best. The narrative recount of event from the show are frequently out of order or missing entirely.
Attention: This is about the books and the series, not the guide book to Season 1 advertized here, and the description of the guidebook has nothing to do with a real description of the novels and TV series. First of all, this isn't a bodice ripper by any definition, although the hero is swash-buckling enough to make any real woman's heart flutter. No ripping of anything here, sorry, but enough adventure, enough emotion and resolution to keep the story singing. The books and the new series are about a man who returns from war to find his home almost in ruins and the girl he loves about to marry his cousin. It follows his life and his loves and that of his family as he tries to find peace during a time of great struggle, and the books and the new series are are the reader's weight in gold.
This book may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I see the humor. This is how you basically tell your friend about a book and what it's like. When I first got into Romeo and Juliet, I was told it was stuffy and one of the last books you would want to read. Then I read it and was like, what are these people talking about? This is the story of a boy and a girl and of their families quarreling. I put my own spin on it and adored Mercutio. This version of Poldark is like what I did with Mercutio. It is like bringing it down to earth a bit. It's also like reading a YouTube video of this. "Ross asks, who are you marrying Francis?" When Ross hears the answer, there's a record scratching. On the YouTube video, you would literally hear the record scratch. Literature can be fun at times. It's how you look at it and I adore how the author took this story and wrote it with humor and a bit of tongue in cheek.
If you like a good laugh and you don't think of Poldark as being sacred writing this should tickle your fancy.Wish it were longer.Like to see a synopsis like this one on Game of Thrones.
Very entertaining. I enjoyed the humor. Will recommend to friends. I have to go my cat is attacking my Kindle.
Really funny. Laughed out loud a few times! Some bad language. I'm going to find more things by him to read.
Hilariously funny, witty and raunchy. Laughed out loud throughout. Well done, sir. Can't wait for Season 2!
