IMDb writes, "North and South is a four part adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's love story of Margaret Hale, a middle class southerner who is forced to move to the northern town of Milton." Really it's just a love story. 2 people that struggle to understand each other as the world around them is in turmoil. They constantly misunderstand and fail to listen to one another which of course drives us all mad - the romantic tensions build for 3 one hour episodes until the conclusion. As always in these period, romantic pieces by BBC there is never enough kissing.
Ok, I admit it. He was the reason I decided to watch the mini-series in the 1st place. Richard Armitage, who I first saw in the BBC tv series Robin Hood is perfect for a smouldering, romantic character. He will appear in the new Hobbit films - the 2 part series by the award winning director of the Lord of the Rings series. He was also in another BBC series that the US has since borrowed called Strike Back. I'm having a very difficult time finding the UK version whereas the US version seems to be everywhere. He also appeared in MI-5 for those of you that follow that series on BBC America. All in all, I say: STREAM IT on Netflix.
