Poldark dips back into the same well as in seasons past, but with an extra dimension.

This season gives fans exactly what they want from Poldark: love and drama.

Jun 19, 2015

Poldark is juicy, romantic, melodramatic storytelling at its most enjoyable.

By Kristi Turnquist FULL REVIEW

Washington Post

It’s ridiculous, it’s sumptuous, it’s perfect summer sorbet.

By Hank Stuever FULL REVIEW

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Jun 22, 2015

An enjoyable mix of romance, period adventure and serialized plot turns, Poldark proves an entertaining, 18th-century summer soap.

By Mark A. Perigard FULL REVIEW

Las Vegas Weekly

Both the scenery and the star of Poldark look great, but the storytelling isn’t quite as effective.
