Will the BBC ever make such kino again?

Will the BBC ever make such kino again?

It's actually astonishing how much things have gone downhill in British media these past 10 years.

BBC makes a show called "pole dark"

Can't make this shit up

They already cucked out by not making Demelza 13 when she first meets Ross like in the books.

This show was basically the perfect cosy watch up until when his cousin drowns. After that it's still really good, BUT it's much sadder and has darker themes. Ross' kid dies, I think, his relationship with demelza almost falls apart, he cucks warleggen. It's all kinda sad man. If you stop watching the show just before that episode, it's a wonderful, comfykino season and a half long show

Also I want to have sex with Demelza btw, not sure if that matters

Under rated observation.

I watched the 70's version and whilst I enjoyed parts of the show it went quite soap opera-y at times.

It was well done. Lets be real Demelza is a tart wagging that ass in front of anything with a penis. However, had Huge survived Demelza would have continued to brazenly cuck Poldark for eternity. Imagine saving a guy and your wife falls in love and fucks him. Only thing worse would be if your wife falls in love and fucks your life long nemesis.

Isn't that basically what happened to George?

*Seethes eternally*

Holy shit I haven't heard this show mentioned in years. I was always surprised that TV didn't talk about it more seeing as this guy was a perfect "wow he's literally me" character.

The Regency Era was far more kino than the Victorian Era.

The only reason she ever contemplated cheating was because Ross did it first with that whore that married his cousin and then fucking Warleggan! Fuck Ross, he caused every problem he suffered from by not standing by his principles except for when it came to politics, like a fucking retard.

that part where he goes insane and actually becomes a happier and slightly nicer person

It's always nice when a show can make you feel for a villain and make you want him to grow and become a better person.

This is what they took from you.

For me? It's dirty street urchin Demelza

I know right? How did it happen so quick? And it´s not just the BBC either. It´s like the entirety of the western developed countries just woke up one day and decided they´d produce just slop for the next 10 years for no reason.

The only thing I didn't like about this adaptation was how they changed the fate of Lascelles to just being defeated and turned into porcelain, instead of being forced to stand guard in faery for possibly eternity because of his sense of superiority making him duel the previous guard and win. Basically every other change was a good movie for a television adaptation.

wait was this actually good? my grandma was super into it and i thought it was just period drama woman bait

"I am the champion of the Lady of the Tower of the Plucked Eye and Heart"

That was one of the best parts, shitty that they changed it.
Also I feel like they made the Gentleman with the Thistledown Hair too overtly villainous. In the book he just has a very twisted sense of morality and is rarely overtly malicious.

There's a lot of female thirst traps (mainly pic related) and a few soapy plotlines but actually it's a great period drama overall.

For me, it's Morwenna

holy kek

I think it would have been really hard to not make him come off as overtly villainous. In the book all his actions seem toned down because you aren't constantly looking at the creepy dude doing the stuff and because the books keeps hammering home that the fae are amoral beings who can't understand why humans have a problem with their actions. But as soon as you put the character on screen the fact that he looks odd (even if they'd toned down his looks) is going to make him seem more villainous and you can't really reiterate the amoral fae part as often as you can in a book because it would come off as telling the audience instead of showing.

The guy they got to play the character knocked it out of the park, I thought. That may be partly because I already liked him as Mr. Teatime in The Hogfather and they're similarly weird characters, though.

Fair Morwenna is not for the likes of me or thee, brother. Ye must set thine eyes on one of God's lesser creatures.

Such a qt.

Imagine the smelle

contemplated

she intended to fuck and advertised it in front of everybody and it wasn't conscience that stopped her with the older man.

But she is still in love with Huge. She leveraged knowing Poldark would not be suspicious of him. She encouraged the wooing, fell in love and made love with Huge a guy Poldark believed was her "friend". Even after Huge passed the flowers remain in the window as reminder of her love and a reminder to Poldark who she loves.

Since she was unhappy with Poldark fucking around then leave him. Instead she purposefully betrayed him and twisted the knife.

Everybody but you got a piece of this

underrated period pieces

For me it was Frontier.

Holy shit I used to fap to the pics of her at this premier so much as a teenager. Had this massive crush on Eleanor Tomlinson wet since my sister forced me to watch Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging. Used to put on the DVD when noone was home to watch her scenes.

(Cornish Accent)Oi wuz born tu pull up ternips...

then leave him.

Yeah man that totally worked for women in that era and wasn't at all something you were ostracised for. Ross could not afford for them to live apart and divorce was seen as a far graver sin than fucking around because so many marriages in their social class was already just one of business where both spouses had lovers. Face it, Ross took on a responsibility when he married her and then he broke her heart and drove her away by cheating and lying and leaving a child as a constant reminder and danger, and then he had the audacity to get angry when she treated him in a similar way.

They're both messy people but Ross is the idiot that caused all the problems to begin with and the hypocrite for dishing out what he can't take. He should have been smarter than drowning his sorrows in a kitchen maid to begin with. Then he should have been smart enough not to marry her, tying her wellbeing to him never straying and making it so that her chances of marrying anyone else was ruined. He did all of that because he thought it would fix the problem of his oneitis moving on when she thought him dead and marrying his cousin, which was a fucking retarded idea. Then he compounded those errors with his blatant yearning and cheating which would naturally be more insulting to a lower class lass like Demelza who's not used to the infidelities common among the upper classes.

Typical leftie desu.

KINO!

my sister forced me

Hot. Did she hold you down?

I thought Versailles had a lot going for it. The sets were gorgeous at least.

How much unnecessary diversity is there?

They really should have done the Grail Quest series instead of the "King Arthur but real" series.

I think very little to none if I remember right. Had a bunch of gay stuff but those characters actually had a pretty good arc.

Perfect shape and size.

An actual Arthurian adaptation would be kino but they'd fuck it up with black Lancelot and a tranny Merlin.
