Negative Positive
Title: A great adventure series
Review: A beautifully filmed, cast and written re-telling of the C.S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower series, with the added plus of having the same cast of characters run through the episodes, and Horatio as a more likable (and drop-dead handsome) character than in the books. I actually preferred this series to the books, and my only disappointment is that the series ends with Horatio making post captain, instead of continuing on further--it's still a satisfying ending, I just didn't want the series to end at all. Lots of gorgeous period detail and costuming as well. "The Mutiny" is especially well written of the series. I would recommend getting the set instead of the individual episodes, as they build on each other and are in chronological order.
