  • Self indulgent talentless whining Bloomsburys.

    I bought this after visiting Charleston - wanting something of its contextual backstory. I knew a little about the Bloomsburys before watching this - and a little more after and I liked them a lot less after their tedious self obsession and narcissism was so stylishly presented in this BBC dramatisation. What a bunch of mediocre snobs they seemed to have been. Episode three sees a change of cast - to show the Bloomsburys at Charleston twenty after episodes 1 & 2: a disastrous & comically unsuccessful decision. The Duncan Grant of 1936 seems the same age as Duncan Grant of 1914 - only played by a different actor with different mannerisms. Confusing and baffling. How boring their moaning is.

  • Complex characters intelligently explored.

    A very good telling of the life stories of a very original and interesting group of friends. Good casting. Also they filmed in Charleston itself (one of the real houses) which adds depth. I loved that it was more centred on Vanessa (Bell) for a change rather than the better known sister Virginia (Woolf).

  • Fascinating

    A fascinating time with fascinating characters, especially the dynamics of the many and varied relationships, which took me a while to work out who was who.
