Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

cg-95534 Well drawn characters, Good production values. Enjoyed it except for the hideous 70s Soundtrack which nearly drove me insane and took away from being able to focus on the story. The opening music has some repetitive lyric that sounds like 'mum' being repeated over and over and then the music during the film often descends into horror movie' sound. Typical 70's and tempted me to put it onto English subtitles so I didn't have to listen to it.

icerider-1 I first saw this series when it aired on PBS in 1979 or so. My dad and I decided to watch it and my whole family was immediately hooked. I was only 10, and the series had a profound effect on me. My grandmother brought the books back for me from England the following year. In the summer of 1981, I spent a month in England with family. For a surprise, my grandmother took me to the Flambards theme park, which, although a bit of a cliché, had exhibits about WWI, aeroplanes, mock villages and houses. The series is beautifully filmed, with excellent acting and attention to detail. I saw it again in university, and just received the DVD set for Christmas from my brother. I booted my husband out of the living room and had a three-night marathon down memory lane. Seeing it as an adult again gave me a new appreciation for it. Christina's journey is enchanting, and the surrounding cast are excellent. Both my father and grandmother have since passed away, and watching this series again was like meeting old friends, and brought back so many happy family memories. I cannot recommend this series enough. (I have not read the fourth book, and am almost afraid to do so!)

wforstchen A girl friend while I was in graduate school coaxed me into watching an episode saying "it was my type of show," and I finally agreed to watch, just to be polite. At first I thought I had to just endure a "chick flick" night but found myself absolutely captivated by the series. It has an easy relaxing slow pace and for this guy, the fascinating delight regarding the very early days of aviation. I fly an antique airplane and thus another reason I love this series since it captures that wonderful sense of excitement and adventure for those first aviators, and of course the delightful young lady who loved them. It carries with it as well a sense of poignancy for a world about to be lost in the trenches and the skies over Belgium and France. If you wish to enjoy a simple relaxing series, that recreates the essence of rural life in England pre-World War I, this series is for you.

PeterPos This is a wonderful series, beautifully photographed and sensitively acted. I regularly re-watch and never tire of it. There are moments in the story which never fail to move me to tears. It is a continuing source of perplexity to me that the young leads, Christina McKenna, Steven Grives, Sebastian Abineri, Peter Settelen and -- above all -- the strikingly talented Alan Parnaby, never became big stars.
