    This is an interesting period piece about a British man who fought in the Revolutionary War, survived, and returned home to find his father dead, his family home in ruins, and his girl betrothed to his cousin. The pilot had a nice, moody vibe. I liked the work to build up the central character and the way the pilot ended.

    The sheer blissful goofiness of [Poldark and Demelza's] burgeoning romance (with swelling music, furtive glances, and Harlequin romance novel compositions) encapsulates the pleasures of the series as a whole. This is trash done ecstatically well.

    Poldark doesn't rise to the dramatic heights of Downton Abbey. And though it sometimes takes itself too seriously, it is an eminently watchable yarn.

    An enjoyable mix of romance, period adventure and serialized plot turns, Poldark proves an entertaining, 18th-century summer soap.
