I was not hooked at first but I stuck with it and I can honestly say that I'm glad I did. So relevant to today's issues & wonderfully portrayed by a very talented cast. I am dealing with mental health issues in my family at the moment and & could relate entirely to that part of the storyline. A lovely romance between the two main characters as well. I hope it continues. Would love to see where all the characters stories go - hoping for a season 2.

With social media being as it is, you cannot help but get roped into all the controversy going on about this show. So I took a look at some YouTube clips and other things going around on Twitter and Instagram etc and got the general gist of what the show is all about. All I can say, is that I was hooked - right from the very first clip. Whoever had the brilliant idea to cast Theo James as the tall, dark, mysteriously brooding Sidney Parker should be applauded. He is absolutely brilliant in this role. I have seen him in other things, but I think this has really showed how good of an actor he really is. Of course he is handsome (any red blooded female can see that) but that didn't even matter to me, because he brought Sidney Parker to life for me. He made me fall in love with him just as Charlotte did and he made me irritated and annoyed just as Charlotte was. He is just an amazing actor and he suited this role to a tee. Charlotte's character (played by Rose Williams) took me a while to warm up to but I found her maturing with each episode and I liked her spunk and charisma but I also liked her softer more vulnerable side which came out slowly as she begun to realize her true feelings for Sidney. Rose is a very talented actor as well. She is exactly how I would picture Charlotte to be.

So to all you people saying how horrible it is and that Jane Austen would be turning in her grave etc etc, I say - SO WHAT! I have a sneaky suspicion that she really isn't worried about it in the slightest. Get over yourselves, get a glass of wine, sit back and just enjoy this wonderfully lovely romantic story. I did! Bring on season 2!!!

So hats off to Netflix. Again I have stumbled onto another amazing series that I had never read about or heard about.... EVER! This series is by far one of the most captivating and beautiful stories every written. At first having subtitles was a bit of a turn off for me but I persevered and so glad I did. If this story was in English it would detract from its incomparable story line and accuracy in history.

The cast is to be applauded. The main character especially... WOW! Those piercing blue eyes had my heart skipping beats, it it worth watching this show if only to see him not to mention also that he is indeed a superb actor, incredible even. He truly brought Kurt Seyit alive for me. The scenery and costumes were fantastic.

I recommend you give this a go. I dare you not to love it.

If you haven't starting watching this yet and you're are thinking about it - think no more and just watch it. You won't be sorry. This series is sensational with brilliant writing and phenomenal acting. There is so much going on but it is easy to follow the storyline and it keeps you interested and excited and anxious for more. When season 2 ended it was tough. I am now started to watch season 3 and so far I am not disappointed. Thank you Netflix for another amazing series. I am rooting for a season 4 and more please.

Another wonderful show I came across by accident and so glad I did. Loved, loved, loved it and the ending... oh my goodness talk about a cliff hanger. Loved the characters, loved the actors, love the storyline. At first I thought these are really adult themes for teenagers to be acting out but then I realised the reality of our world today is that this is actual real life for so many teenagers today who by no fault of their own are living these adult themes way before they should be. This series shows this in a very tasteful and realistic way that really gets you thinking. The characters are down to earth and very relevant to the show. The romance, the humour and even the violence that is portrayed is a credit to the writers whom I think may have been writing from their own life experiences I'm sure. Would be interested in knowing if that is indeed true. Watch it - you won't regret it. Hope there is a season two.

Come on people... this is Hallmark... not Masterpiece Theater. It is what it is and although based on Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, there should be NO comparison to the book or BBC series whatsoever. This is by far one of my more favorite Hallmark movies and I loved it. As with all Hallmark movies, the romance is a bit weak at best (need more kissing & groping - how could one keep their hands of Ryan Paevy). I hope they step it up a bit in the sequel, Marrying Mr Darcy, which will air on Hallmark Channel in June 2018. The lead character, Ryan Paevy (Donovan Darcy), is dishy and very easy on the eyes. If Hallmark did anything right with this show it is in casting a gorgeous hunk to play Mr Darcy. He is exactly who I picture now when I read Pride & Prejudice. Well done!

I came across this movie quite by accident and began to watch it. Being a Hallmark romance, I kind of had an idea where this would go. However, I was pleasantly surprised and it seemed to me to be different from most other Hallmark movies. The more I watched, the more I became intrigued and wondered just what road this story would take. Although, not Jewish myself, I am always amazed about religion and how one dedicates themselves to any religion, Jewish or not. I found this element of the movie most informative and very interesting. I would love to see this movie with a bigger budget just to see a bit more romance and chemistry and story between Leah & Jake. I thought the actors were superb and suited the roles to a tee, even the supporting cast. It was great seeing Ricki Lake also. I would recommend this movie to any of my friends. It was just wonderful and left me wanting to see more of their story.

Why was this show cancelled???? I had watched it before and rewatched it again on Netflix. I loved it from beginning to end. The actors are all excellent and the storylines entertaining (as much as one can be while dealing with issues of cancer). Season two just ended without any resolution to anything. This is very frustrating. Whoever made the decision to axe this show should be axed themselves. Please, please if any exec producers or any person like that is reading this, please reconsider continuing the show, although I assume the actors have all moved on to different things now but anything is possible - hey they brought Will & Grace back!

This is the first time I think I have ever rated a show 10/10. This is a must see people. Music is fantastic, acting & cast superb, storyline creative and entertaining, overall experience - AMAZING! I just want to know what show the critics saw because according to every review I have read here and online etc, everyone who has seen this film loved it and have either gone to see it again in the theaters or have pre-ordered DVD's and the soundtrack. If you haven't seen it yet, don't delay... it is so worth it.

I like it! I am not ashamed to say I really like it. It kept me entertained and left me wanting more like every show should. I love the chemistry between Megan & Kyle. At first when the whole Institute of the Higher Mind came into it, I was a bit skeptical but it works for me and I enjoy that part of the story line as well. A binge worth series. Can't wait for season 2.

What a delight to find this gem. As I lay in my sick bed at home these past few days I decided to browse my Netflix account to find something "decent" to watch. I had not heard of WCTH (When Calls The Heart), I have never read the books, in fact I never even knew they existed. I watched the first episode and was hooked. Unfortunately Netflix only had the first two seasons so had to watch season 3 & 4 on YouTube. This show had me so hooked that I forgot that I was even in pain and went hours without having to pop any pain killers. What a marvelous, entertaining, uplifting show and so romantic. It has everything in it that today's shows lack and that is integrity and virtue, kindness and real love. I love, love, love Dan Lissing. I fell in love with him in Last Resort but didn't realize he was from Australia (won't hold that against him though - ha ha - its a Kiwi/Aussie thing). The chemistry between himself and Erin Krakow is electric. The looks, the glances, the smiles, the teasing and innocent flirting was more orgasmic than watching a scripted, unrealistic sex scene in a mediocre movie or TV show. Well done Hallmark! May this show continue for many many years to come. Thank you for helping me recover quicker than I had anticipated - It must have been all those endorphin's coursing through my body.

So I am a late bloomer. I would not consider myself a lover of vampire stories, just barely made it through the Twilight movies, but I have just been introduced to Vampire Diaries by my husband no less - thanks Netflix. I am half way through season 4 and I have become obsessed with this show. Yes, at times the story line wavers, as it does with every television series, and to be honest I just wanted to slap Elena when she couldn't make up her mind which brother she wanted (a girl should be so lucky) but thank you to the writers for keeping us hooked with other story lines as well. I am completely infatuated with Paul Wesley (Stephan). He oozes charm, charisma and most definitely sex appeal. A very talented actor and looking forward to seeing more from him. Ian Somerhalder(Damon)also most definitely fits into those categories but unlike Elena, my vote definitely goes to Team Stephan. I would recommend this show to anyone I come in contact with and although I still have a lot more to watch, I am most definitely a huge fan and to the cast and crew I wish the show every success.

I too am a huge fan of the Winston Graham novels and especially the original Poldark series that I watched as a young girl. I was a bit skeptical that they could remake such a classic but I am pleasantly surprised and how much I am loving this show so far. Aidan portrays Ross Poldark so well and is hot hot hot to say the least. The girl who plays Demelza (sorry her name escapes me at present) is great. I remember her from The White Queen mini-series and was impressed with her then. I was totally enthralled from beginning to end. The chemistry between Ross & Demelza is amazing, just how it should be. This series is well casted and well written. I am hooked! Hope it is around for a long long time. I am definitely a fan.

Historically correct - no! Entertaining - yes! I love everything about it. The costumes are breathtaking. The characters are beautiful. The romance, just can't get enough of it. Just love the music, it fits so perfectly well with the story lines (I hope they put a soundtrack out). Well done to the creators and writers for finally giving me a show that I actually want to sit and watch over and over again. It has been a long time coming. I sat and watch with my husband who also enjoyed it. His only comment was that there needed to be a few more battle/fighting scenes. If I were to change anything it would be probably to make the episodes longer.
