I think I completely agree with the person who stated that PBS is supposed to be free because it is funded by donations and and the government I believe. However it's a free anymore LOL so it's no different then Starz HBO etc etc and the worst part is I have a fire stick so I pay for the PBS Maserpiece app on my fire stick and there a we never had to pay for TV we didn't have to pay for this box that box in the other box we didn't have to pay for Wi-Fi and internet I do believe PBS was but itfree

This is so well written, so well acted that you feel a part of history. History is better understood when seen through the eyes of the people who lived it. I look forward to this show every week. Thank you PBS for another intelligent, captivating show.

I honestly do not like the new series of the continuation of Poldark and first of all they brought the rights of Saga and they did the continuation thanks for all the supports they ruined the original of the story of the writer written by Winston Graham. I will buy the original series of Poldark 1975 which i support and always love the original that is the best !
