Poldark season 2 review

On this past episode of the BBC’s “Poldark,” we had a moment that led to many people having some difficult conversations about the show. What happened between Ross and Elizabeth was a gut-punch in so many ways, whether it be questions of consent (she initially said no before giving in) to Ross’ act of infidelity […]

For most of this season of “Poldark,” you have likely heard a thing or two regarding the scene between Ross and Elizabeth in tonight’s episode in advance. After all, this was a scene that would be almost impossible to translate to television in a way that was favorable to the title character. Let’s go ahead and […]

Entering this weekend’s new episode of “Poldark” on BBC One, our general sentiment was one of hope. How could it not be, given that Ross found generosity at the hands of Caroline’s secret donation, and Dwight himself was prepared to run away and marry her? This was a chance for the two characters to find […]

The end of last week’s new episode of “Poldark” was a knife in the back to fans everywhere, even if fans of the original likely expected it. The death of Francis changes Ross Polark, his outlook on life, and the importance of his family. It’s almost like we are experiencing the seven stages of grief […]

We have made it now to the halfway point of “Poldark” this season, and we’re leaving off with this episode with one that many fans of the original series or the book were inevitably dreading. Unfortunately, we are speaking of the death of Francis Poldark. From the moment you saw that childhood flashback at the […]

There are a few things that we know about “Poldark” as a series at this point, starting with the sole fact that George is going to keep being a terrible human being. As a lead villain he’s at times immature, but when he gets an idea in his brain, he’s going to do just about […]

The third season of “Poldark” brought us what we’d consider to be at least a minor victory on last week’s episode, as we had an opportunity to see Ross released following his trial. Of course, you didn’t think that this would make tonight a stroll through the sweeping Cornwall hills? You had to know better! […]

On Sunday night’s “Poldark,” there was a moment that we knew was likely coming, but also one that we very much rejoiced in: Ross Poldark being declared not guilty at his trial, one that ran the risk of destroying his entire life. Of course, there were so many problems that went beyond just what we […]

The second season of “Poldark,” otherwise known as the show where people stare at the ocean while standing on pretty rocks, is officially back! We joke because the show, despite its occasionally-too-lengthy longing glances, is incredible British entertainment. It’s dramatic in all of the ways that you would want a primetime drama to be. We […]
