I’m usually apprehensive of television series. In my experience, they are usually overdone, highly sexualized, and push too many progressive themes whilst claiming to be true to a previous era. However, I was pleasantly surprised with this presentation. Kudos to a talented cast but more so for the protagonist. Fans of the aesthetically pleasing Aidan Turner will be highly rewarded as he is present in just about every frame. Honestly, Turner as Ross Poldark was absolutely stupendous. In the first few scenes I was curious about him being cast as the hero of the series but those misplaced concerns were quickly put to rest. In short, Ross Poldark returns from war to find devastation. His girl, (the beautiful Elizabeth played by Heida reed) is now engaged to his cousin, his father died and his land was left savaged. As a true alpha, he takes it on himself to earn his way, while saving the future of others. He marries and eventually falls in love with a fiery red head who compliments him. All great! And romantic!!! Now, after these exultations of said series, it's sad that I can accurately predict the rest of this series without watching any subsequent seasons. I predict future episodes will make a mockery of this debut. As usual with these things, the hero will commit adultery & push this erroneous idea that humans can not honor their marriage vows and overcome temptation. Beloved characters will be overcome by lust and illicit relationships. More people will die and illegitimate children will be born. ..And it will eventually become like what's already out there
