irisaweber I really wanted to like this, having watched (and cried my eyes out) over "The Devils Whore" (the worst thing here being the rather unfortunate title...). It sets off 25 years after Angelica loses Sexby, and follows her daughter's life. The change in character of Angelica is, quite frankly, unbelievable - a woman so passionately in life/love becomes sedate, and ends up burnt at the stake over a misrepresentation concerning her last husband??? The daughter is, to all intends and purposes, rather a bit...shall I say, confused. Despite Mr. Dornan doing his thing, most actors here simply cannot hold with John Simm,Andrea Riseborough, Maxine Peake, et al. The script is confused, and, imo, sloppy. Overall very disappointing - could have been wonderful, but was just a chance missed.Stick with the original instalment, and avoid this...it's worse than Cromwell ever could have been.

dragokin New Worlds won't keep you on the edge of your seat, yet it might be a fine pastime during a coupe of hours.I wouldn't discuss the historical accuracy of New Worlds since i've perceived it as an adventure without the ambition to describe the era. So we're moving from Old World to New World and follow several interesting characters.There were moments, though, where i wasn't particularly amused. For example the family in England raising their daughters liberally, albeit in a new age commune style. Then there was inverse Pocahontas story of sorts...But i'm complaining too much about a show which was nice although far from being great.

symphony78-1 Wanted to watch it with hoping it will give a glimpse of the colonial times, but it turned to be bad acting, mediocre screenplay. very simple series.

may antrobus OK,it's not completely gripping,and some of the story lines were clipped a bit thin of time,but hey,I get sick of historical series being turned into no more than characters getting frisky,whilst this series reminded me of the good old fashioned swashbuckling series of old,whilst very aptly showing the moral dilemmas of the age,though for me Beth was a bit of an improbable character,she sort of looks on mildly whilst she's abducted,and watches someone close to her be abducted too with a look that is to say the least bovine.if you are looking for a series that gives you good old entertainment(even includes a scalping,then this is ideal).
