OH, my gosh, what a fantastic series! It's like a really good book you can't put down. If I watched one episode, I watched three at a time. Perhaps it took me most of an evening, but I couldn't turn it off. The stories are wonderful but the characters are awesome. The acting is A+ Some of the characters are terribly amusing, even in their sad situation. I will probably start watching the whole series again soon. I know I will discover things I missed first time around.

I have watched the entire collection. CD # 3 in the third box and CD # 2 in the fourth box are difficult to watch as they are damaged or dirty. Stops and no starts, and pictures horrible. I tried cleaning each of these discs and it helped somewhat. I cleaned them again and it helped a bit more. But, they are not perfect, by any means. I love the entire series. And, for the price it is okay.

Great story line and acting. Unfortunately, the quality of the individual discs themselves is very low. I finally made it through Series 2 after struggling to get the discs of Series 1 and 2 to work properly. I even purchased a brand new DVD player. Now on Series 3, I've had to use three (3) different DVD players just to begin watching the first disc. The individual discs break down when playing and the words don't match the mouth movement, so I have had to move to yet another DVD player. Hope to eventually get through the entire series, but realize that it's going to be a challenge. Probably the producers and writers would not be pleased to learn that the disc quality used in this boxed series is not up to BBC standards. A lot of time, expense and effort were expended in the creation of this series and it's very disappointing to have to fight with every single disc and even some individual episodes just to get them to work properly on one of my now many DVD players. Other DVDs work perfectly fine on all my DVD players, so I'm pretty certain that the problem stems solely from the disc themselves. I've have purchased many BBC series from online sellers over the years and this is the first time that I've ever run into these sort of disc play-back issues. I'd recommend scaling up the quality of the materials involved in manufacturing any future Lark Rise to Candleford series disc sets.Read full review

I work at a library and we have season 1 of this show and I’ve picked it up several times over the year to take out but ended up outside back on the shelf as it didn’t look like my kind of show but I finally decided to just give 1 episode a go and boy I immediately feel in love with this show and all the characters in it. I wish I took out sooner! After watching just a few episodes I had to purchase the entire series to add to my collection.

When I watched the first season of Lark Rise to Candleford I found it pleasing and thought I'd watch more sometime. This didn't happen for several months. Where was my head? The next season made me want to get the next. I was checking these out from the Library, but soon I became hooked and frantically checked online for the best deal to buy the whole set. It took me awhile to bring myself to watch the very last show because I didn't want it to end, but now I am starting the whole series over. The characters were very well portrayed, and the facial expressions were perfect for revealing the innermost thoughts and feelings of each individual. They must have had a lot of practice in this art. Not only were the morals high throughout, and the humor most entertaining, but the wisdom expressed by key figures was positive and almost life changing. When someone that has made a big mistake comes to me I hope I can learn to correct them with a smile on my face as is carried out by Dorcas, though I believe Henry was my favorite character. I LOVED it!Read full review

This series from Great Britain, set in 1895 and a few years after, has a wonderful ensemble cast, most of whom are recognizable from other shows such as Game of Thrones, Poldark, Bleak House and Hinterland to name a few. It's a charming show, light-hearted and amusing at times, sad and poignant at others. But it's about life, and it doesn't matter that it's set in the late 1800's because most of its themes are relevant today. I didn't mean to binge-watch it but I couldn't help myself. It may not be action-filled and full of murders, but it was exciting and suspenseful in its own way and now I'm sad it's over.

I ordered this collection because I was in "Downton Abbey" withdrawal. Unfortunately, "Downton Abbey" ruins the initial response to just about any other period series; "Lark Rise" grows on you though. The cast is wonderful (you'll see some familiar faces if you're a fan of the BBC) and the scenery is gorgeous. The stories are entertaining and you want to continue watching to find out what happens next. I love the late 1800's costumes and it's interesting to take a peek at a working village the way things used to be. I would recommend the series to fans of period pieces,

So wonderful...we have watch this series many times on BYU TV. Now we have answers to the behind the scenes and characters etc. Many hours of bonus material. Watched the 90 min. Christmas program and loved every wonderful adventure. Purchased this for my Husbands for Valentines and my is it worth every $ and more. We are Pride and Prejudice, Downtown Abby enthusiast and this Series gives a great deal of depth to the Characters and their other parts. Such a delight.

Had watched it previously when using netflix. It is a wonderfully produced series with endearing characters who are chosen perfectly for their roles. We have watched it all the way through 2 different times & loved it so much, it was decided we wanted our own set of discs, although I am still not sure what "SAME DAY SHIPPING" means as it was definitely NOT so!! We are so in love with the stories & characters, we recommend it to everyone.

This is a really charming series. After one episode I am totally hooked. I am so happy to have purchased the entire series. It has some of the actors from Downton Abbey, and I am a big fan of that show. I would highly recommend it.
