Title: Look Back to A Life Worth Living...
Review: I have been riveted to this video series since I began watching. Wonderful characters and a resonant plot! The central character is a history teacher, and just as that discipline gives one much to reflect upon--so does this well-paced drama about a schoolmaster at an English public school in the inter war period. As the episodes unfolded, I found myself thinking deeply about the measure of words such as altruism, narcissism, feminism, class, charity, generosity of spirit and a a host of other ponderables, including the elusive meanings of the verb, "to love."The concluding episodes left me blubbering over what it means to live a "life worth living"--a theme raised at the beginning of each episode as they all commence with the singing of the Bamfylde school song, "Look Ahead to A Life Worth Living." The series' over riding question for me? What is the cost of a life worth living?
