Masterpiece: The Forsytes: Season 1 (DVD)

Desire, ambition and betrayal simmer at the heart of the sumptuous costume drama, The Forsytes. The series chronicles the lives, loves, trials and triumphs of a wealthy Victorian era stockbroking family, whose generations find themselves torn between tradition and self-sacrifice versus personal happiness and the pursuit of love. This bold, new reimagining from writer Debbie Horsfield (Poldark) is inspired by John Galsworthy’s celebrated Forsyte Saga novels.
