User Reviews

one of my all-time favorite shows, I love historical fiction.The twisted story and lives in this show really wrap u up into the characters.

I absolutely loved this series. It was captivating from, almost the very beginning. It’s a roller coaster of emotions & fabulous characters!

Domestic, steamy and interesting, especially for a period romance

Really love this one, haven't finished it though. So underrated. If you enjoy period pieces and love stories, give this a go. Worth watching

great show with a fantastic love story. very similar if you liked downton abbey.

I loved it. You could see the growth and blossoming of love in the heart of that interesting story.

This show is boring to most. But to me someone who finds watching attractive men smolder, farm, and mine it is perfect. Amazing characters!

Looks gorgeous and full of interesting characters.

A standard emotional and romantic TV series that, despite its unforgettable charm, is not known as it should be.

A period drama with a predictable plot and clichéd characters, failing to bring anything fresh or compelling to the genre. Ross is a jerk!
