Summary: Warning! The middle part is almost completely missing!
Review: Dearest Robson Green fans . . . I bought this video set, and when it arrived, I made my popcorn and settled down for a long night of living vicariously through Anna Crane (Francesca Annis) and her steamy love affair with gorgeous Owen Springer (Robson Green). I got to see the first part, which I had missed while it was showing on PBS. Wonderful. Saw the previews for the second part, where the relationship really takes off, and poof! Nothing! We go straight to the last lap, where Anna decides which man she will go with, if either! I was devastated! Hoping it was merely a fluke with the video, I sent it back, and ordered another one. Hoping and wishing it was a fluke! Finally it arrived and poof! Still no middle scene! I don't know how the distributors got away with this, but wait for it to be redistributed, if it ever is. It's too disappointing not to have the whole thing! I give it 2 stars, just because Robson is so appealing.

Summary: horrible
Review: Don't bother trying to watch this terrible mini series. It is a six hour bore, an unbelievable love triangle between three people who have absolutely no chemistry for each other. There is no heat in this story, no real passion, no real romance. It is a dry, boring, drawn out, and uninspired as they come. The writing is atrocious, and while the actors should be given credit for not choking on the swill they have for dialogue, they are completely unbelievable. The story is utterly predictable, though it goes off on pointless tangents and ignores potentially interesting subplots, and the only thing surprising is that anybody ever thought it would be a good idea to make this drivel. It doesn't even meet the expected level of technical proficiency, with terrible editing, pathetic sound, and blatant continuity problems. Take those six hours of your life and use them for something more worthwhile. The BBC has made many better mini series, and pretty much any one of them would be preferable.

Summary: Great Writing!
Review: I just bought the DVD of this series and it's great! The acting and writing are excellent. Writer Paul Abbott also wrote "State of Play" --another great series on BBC America. And FYI, all of the episodes ARE included in the DVD set. The set includes 4, 2-hour DVDs (3 of the series and 1 of the sequel).

Summary: Suave, comedic, dramatic and splendidly acted
Review: I notice a few of the reviewers mention that part of their videos are missing. This obviously had to do with the company. I did not purchase my set (3 tapes) on line, so I have the entire film. I cannot describe how marvelous it is and how credible all of the performaces are. Michael Kitchen is a standout because he must play a part that is simply not very appealing to human sensibility, and he carries it off superbly. Bravo to all, and the age switch is credible and welcome. She is older than he is!!!
I suggest to those who have already purchsed a set without the middle to purchase it from a local vendor and not on line. This is safer.

Summary: parts of the tape are missing
Review: I really enoyed Reckless and was very excited to recieve it for a holiday gift. Like other reviewers I found that much of the middle of the story is absent from the tapes, production must have been [messed] up. I returned it twice but found the same problem each time. Such a shame.

Summary: Funny, touching, captivating!
Review: I recently purchased this DVD set on a whim and was absolutely captivated by it. It was funny, romantic, touching, sad, suspenseful. All the actors were magnificent, especially the 3 leads. I tried to drag it out 3 nights but found I just couldn't. I finally gave in - it was like devouring a guilty pleasure in one sitting. Surfed the web and found Reckless, the Sequel, and ordered it sent 2-day priority mail. Get them both at the same time - the sequel is just as wonderful. This series reminded me what a joy good entertainment can be.

Summary: reckless
Review: I saw this on my local PPS station, and really enjoyed it. When I found out I could buy it, and that there was a sequel. well I ordered right away. But when I received it was disapointed, that the frist movie is missing an entire episode at the end of the second tape. The third tape starts after they are in devorce. But they never show the affair, when he gets the sports car, and the husband is trying to find out who the other man is. Dont understand why nobody has brought this up. Alot is missing. very disapointed. Sent my copies back

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.
