Reckless

Summary: PROVOCATIVE, EXCITING, BRILLIANTLY DONE!
Review: The cast, the story, the direction - all outstanding. This was a treat for the mind and the heart. I loved every second of it and laughed and laughed and laughed and then I ached for love that this story represents. The writing is a magnificent surprise. Surprises throughout as well. Robson Green is a deep, sexy, loving, funny and powerful screen actor. I want to see everything he's ever done. Francesca Annis is a brilliant actress and her scenes with Michael Kitchen were superb and Michael Kitchen was superb. The supporting cast was excellent with the character of Owen's Dad being a special standout. I felt as though I never wanted it to end. I bought two copies for friends and both of them watched all four tapes in one evening - I dragged it out - to experience this thrill over a few days. Four tapes - that includes the marvelous Sequel.
Don't miss this. Share it. Watch it again. And have the best time.

Summary: Don't Miss This One.
Review: This was one of the best programs ever to be broadcast on either public television (which is saying a great deal given other legendary programs like I'Claudius, Poldark, and Upstairs, Downstairs) or the networks. The story centers on the return of a brash young surgeon from London to his native Manchester to tend his alcoholic father. In connection with his return he joins the staff of a local hospital and shortly thereafter falls in love with an older woman he met on the trip from London. (...) Reckless offers everything a discerning viewer could want: romance, drama, comedy, suspense, and even farce. Casting is ideal all roles are admirably played by skilled actors who understand precisely who their characters are and what they should be doing/feeling at every given moment. Don't miss this one or it's equally superb follow-up: Reckless, the Sequel.
