### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Lavish, tight adaptations of James.
  

*by F***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2010*

Like most British literary series of the 70's, these stagings are short on dazzling set design & cinematography, but are very well-costumed and have plenty of period costume eye-candy.The scripts are tight and, judging from what I remember about the original James books, faithful to the stories' basic themes. When you condense a novel down to a 50-minute play, as they do here with "The Wings of the Dove", some finer points will get lost but the gist of the story is expressed well.A great part of the satisfaction of a series like this is to see actors as they were back in the day. Diana Rigg, Jeremy Brett, Patricia Routledge, Margaret Tyzack and Anton Rodgers are a few of the actors who are better known for other work. If you know Routledge only from her work on "Keeping Up Appearances", her younger self here will be a nice surprise.For some people, the pace of these episodes may feel slow (I felt that as well) but I would say that you should just accept that and relax into the different pace of story-telling. This series is a nice way to spend a couple of hours.Fran

    Affairs of the Heart
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2012*

This set of BBC episodes was perfect for us as we could watch one episode after dinner without setting aside the whole evening to watch a feature length movie. My husband has read the Henry James stories on which these episodes were based and said that they closely followed James's storyline. Of course, we liked some episodes better than others, not because of inferior acting, but just because of the story line. We especially liked the Patricia Routledge episode as she is one of our favorite British actresses. Had we not enjoyed Series I, we would not purchase Season II.

    An example of good acting
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2010*

I bought this series, at first for Jeremy Brett, who plays in the episode "Grace", a witty and charming one. Brett is, as usual, a dashing and perfect performer. (people who wish to provide this unfairly underrated actor with a posthumous Bafta may go to facebook:"posthumous BAFTA for Jeremy Brett). But in fact, I enjoyed very much all the episodes. The stories are enthralling, deep, behind a light appearance. The actors are very good and their delivery is perfect. Moreover there are english subtitles, very helpful for people who can't hear...and for foreigners. I'm delighted with this series.
