The Forsyte Saga - Série 1

"You haven't heard?!" Never mind the classic Galsworthy gossip that drives that entire Victorian society. It's lived in a regular sinusoid of gossip - ball - gossip - ball, in which the ball always squashes the gossip that's too stale and starts new ones so that there's always something going on. These are the problems of a better society, which the left has always despised so much, and yet a certain class has managed to live in them for generations and still have wrinkles from it. All those marriages of convenience are thus the vanity of vanities. However, the important thing is that it doesn't lose the humor and the actors know very well what they are doing. The first thing that catches the eye is Irene's new toilet, and then it becomes clear to everyone that her new architect is not only interested in meeting the requirements of the client Soames, but above all into the pants of his better half. It's nice, it's sophisticated and above all it's endlessly entertaining. The series also makes clever jumps in time, so that we actually go through 50 years in a few episodes and don't even blink. Or rather, the first season ends with the end of the Victorian century so that one can slip straight into the modern century. (04/05/2021)
