ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

frandsendj Excellent production providing a vivid window on the twilight years of the British Raj in India. The social circumstances with all the prejudices and fears that existed at the time set against a riveting story line was most entertaining. Such a pity that the series did not go on to cover the period of WWII, partition and independence. The story could have developed into something very special.

kathryn-40824 Love this show as my family came from India. My dad has frequently told me about the many dances he attended and the opulent lifestyle that the family led while living in India. My Great Grandfather was known as 'Car Pop' due to the amount of cars he had back in the early 1900's in India. I have so many photos of dinners, cars and camping trips, trains and military in India. The show helps me understand how life may have been for both the British and the Indians. Though it may not all be factual ,it is still a great show to watch. I thoroughly enjoy the story line, cast and settings. Cant wait to see the next series of Indian Summers. The Indian actors are all great.

pmitcham-40509 It is a shame to learn that they (the powers that be at Channel 4) decided NOT to go ahead with Season 3 earlier this year (2016). However, all is not lost as they will change their minds when enough people contribute to voting on how good the series was. Great acting, super costumes, wonderful script and the scenery was and exceptional. Season 3 would presumably have dealt with the period leading up to WW2 and the entry of Japan in 1941. Monumental times for the Indian sub continent and breathtakingly riveting & fearful for the countless millions involved. Can't believe that with such a rich vein of social history to come they have abandoned "Indian Summers to two seasons AND alas the best was yet to come. Fingers crossed the producers change their minds before the cast and crew move onto other things!

mypoint99 Indian Summers ain't no Downton Abbey. It barely meets the mark as a show worthy to be on Masterpiece Theater. Only the gorgeous scenery and the historical context make the show worth a tiny bit of time, but I could google photos and read some books and get more out of it than I have gotten from Indian Summers.I have watched every episode thus far, waiting, hoping that I would finally experience some logical character development. No such luck. Last Sunday's episode turned out to be the new nadir. Bright spots are easy to discern as there are so few of them:1) the storyline between McLeod and Sood has a lot of potential, and someone should write an entire series exploring this time period through the relationship between those two men. That would be fascinating.2) the scenery is gorgeous, and almost makes me want to travel there, except for the fact that reality today falls very short of the fantasy portrayed in the showThat's about it for the bright spots.I am undecided if I will continue to watch the show. I do have a compulsion to finish what I have started, so I probably will, but I won't be happy as I watch it. I don't care for any of these characters. Only Dalal's father would be good company. The rest give me the creeps.This is not a family show, either. Keep your remote handy in order to avoid the unnecessary simulated sex scenes. I don't watch HBO for a reason, and don't like Masterpiece Theater programs resembling those other cable shows.Lastly, can someone please increase the budget for dialect training? Why do the British dialect teachers and the actors themselves keep perceiving Americans as talking with such absurd dialects? This is a common problem in BBC shows for many years. Those actors assigned to play the Americans are evidently told to pronounce every vowel as if their faces were being stretched wide in order to get the most annoying sounds ever. No Americans sound like this. Never did. Perhaps this is on purpose - make the American characters sound as foolish as possible. Could be. In any case, it's annoying and stupid.My family would love to find another Downton Abbey, but we will wait patiently for it. Poldark has been our most favorite of the recent series. If Indian Summers is renewed, it won't be on our viewing watchlist.
