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

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.
