5/5 The Second Generation Of A Family's Dark History
  by John D. Cofield
Fleur Forsyte is the beautiful and pampered daughter of Soames Forsyte, a gruff London solicitor with a large fortune and a growing art collection. One day, in a gallery run by their cousin June, Fleur and Soames run into a young man named Jon Forsyte, who seems to be some sort of relation, but one whom Soames does not care to know or even meet. Fleur and Jon are attracted to each other and intrigued by the mystery of why their parents keep shying away from each other. Jon's parents, Jolyon and Irene, hint that there was some sort of past conflict, but will say no more than that.

Naturally, the fact that their parents are bitterly opposed to their meeting again cause Fleur and Jon to contrive more encounters, eventually falling in love and making plans for their elopement. In the process they also discover the true story of their parents' pasts, with devastating results.

This is a beautiful follow up to the first "new" series of The Forsyte Saga. Once again the producers took a huge risk in attempting a remake of what is universally remembered as the epitome of British television, the original Forsyte Saga from the 1960s. While the second series of this remake is much shorter than the original series, necessitating a truncated story line and the eliminiation of some subplots, it is very beautifully done, with fine acting and lovely settings in the English countryside.

5/5 Almost as good as the original

I saw the most recent version of this series on PBS and thought Damien Lewis was excellent as Soames but Eric Porter in the original was more sinister I thought. also it is true the writers did take a few liberties with the second script I thougt all in all it was very well done a i enjoyed it very much!!!

5/5 The Forsyte Saga, Series 2

The Sequel to the Forsyte Saga was done with perfect casting of the characters, lavish sets and sumptious costuming. It has become one of my favorite series and has inspired me to read the remaining John Galsworthy books in the Saga. Damian Lewis was absolutely perfect in the role of Soames Forsyte.

5/5 A heartwarming story of a Victoria Era Family

The entire story beginning with set 1 is loaded with great acting, excellent photography and an emotionally packed story. These two sets are a keeper to be visited at least once a year
