Why does everyone choose to ride closest to the clff?
I’m thoroughly enjoying this series. I can’t recall much about the original, except that I binged on it about 2 years ago.

This show is great. I love when we get those little touches of snarkiness from Ross. That scene with the two women was great.

There’s also the other Darcy moment when he takes a dip in the sea. Unashamedly I have to say I was disappointed the scene only lasted seconds & we only saw his back! (though that did look very muscular)

True. And after an arduous horseback ride as well.

Mmmm, any time “Persuasion” is mentioned, you’ve got my attention! And a Colin Firth as Darcy moment. Delicious 🙂

Yes, Persuasion, with your favorite, and one of mine. I remember very little about the original Poldark, which I binged on over a weekend a few years ago, so I didn’t recall this plot line at all, or even the character of Verity. Sea Captain deemed unworthy ( here for a different reason), spinster, sensible daughter too useful to her family to give up. As to the Colin Firth moment, Ross Poldark is not the gentleman Darcy was, at least not in his actions, but the dance, which we often see in this period dramas, brought it back. I would say there was a different sort of tension, since Ross and Elizabeth had a past, and Darcy and Elizabeth were just getting started.
