Title: Gentle look at long term marriage
Review: I first watched this series on PBS in the early 80's. Re-watching the first three episode today, I realized that there are layers in this series that I couldn't appreciate as a 20-year old. It's poignant and funny and I fell in love with it all over again.The characters are believable and understated. It does appear dated, especially the clothing, but, the themes of aging and marriage and lost opportunities are timeless and I like the vintage look of the series, it adds to the slow, gentle, lyrical feel of the writing and understated acting.Unfortunately series 3 and 4 are not available in NTSC Region 1, an oversight I hope BBC soon remedies.
Is the review positive or negative?
