About
"Brooding romance against Cornwall's wild cliffs"
Poldark follows Ross Poldark, a soldier who returns to 18th-century Cornwall after fighting in America to find his family's estate crumbling and the woman he loved engaged to another. He rebuilds his fortune through mining and marries a spirited servant girl, but old passions keep resurfacing. The show is sweeping, romantic, and gorgeously shot, with rugged coastal scenery doing as much emotional work as the cast. It moves at a stately period-drama pace, leaning on brooding glances and class conflict rather than plot twists, and it knows exactly how to make a clifftop horse ride feel momentous.
