Classy and classic televsion - real value for money - By: W. Hutchinson, 01 May 2008
This is truly classic light drama covering Reilly's career form the Russo-Japanese war to the rise of Stalin. The Reilly character is very charming (as are his numerous paramours) but treacherous & the story told in a compelling & serialised way. If you like good acting, realistic sets, & a good story free from alll the agitating diversions in contemporary television programmes then this is for you. It would not be made today as producers feel compelled to dumb down content with infantile background `mood' noises that grind on the nerves. I suspect this is to distract from the lack of content, or perhaps most programmes these days are made for children rather than those with adult tastes. Even though it was made in the 1980s, it is not reallly dated except for the lack of the negative distractions mentioned before. So if you want an easy to follow but classy story without the puerile distractions buy this series of DVDs - it is true value for money. The 3 DVDs have about six hours of content. I highly recommend them.
