9/10
Truly astounding
31 December 2006
What a brave move. This third series of North and South lies at the vanguard of television drama. Billiantly conceived, beautifully filmed, and the acting is absolutely top notch. And the dialog! Well what can I say? Fluent, beautiful and packed with memorable quotes. Every change made from the two previous installments is a stroke of genius, from the triumphant appearance of Cooper Main to the romance between Madeline and George Main. And what a fantastic creation Elkanah Bent is. Evil personified, but with so many layers and depth.

This is a landmark achievement. Truly inspirational.

I watch it weekly.

Oh, and how could I forget? My favorite part is where Orry is killed. How brave of Patrick Swayze to not show his face!
