Good movie but if you are not watching the whole movie at one time, remember what chaper you were in when you stopped watching. The movie starts from the beginning every time you quit watching it.

A very very excellent show....my parents met during the war...my father black my mother white. They never told us what they went through in Scotland or England...but no matter what they pulled through it and never looked back.

I wish I could give it 10 stars. I was glad to see a movie with adoption in the story. When my mother gave birth, her family was told I died. I was actually given to another family. I was really moved and wished the story could have…

Excellent! Characterization was spot on...Hortense reminded me of a friend who had come to America years ago for college and returned to her native land, then returned to America and stayed. I as well felt the ending was too abrupt and…

Excellent acting, beautiful scenery (all too brief) of Jamaica, compelling characters, and a good reminder that racism is not just a US problem. Like many viewers, I felt this could have been a much longer story because it stops just when…

I thoroughly enjoyed this drama. Was very sorry as where it ended. I would have liked it to keep going. It had all the makings of a very good series. The racial elements/truths were portrayed well. It just left me wanting to see more...but…

A fascinating story with great performances with such a talented ensemble of world-class actors playing original, well-drawn characters . The film retains its balance as it weaves in and out of characters' lives, while never…

A facinating look at racial issues during WW2.

Story within a story, and an honest revelation of how the Brits treated their supposed compatriots. Racism towards Blacks on the other side of the Pond. Worth the view.

A Masterpiece PBS Classic. Deals with the lives of two couples: one Jamaican and the other English. Their worlds intertwine in post-world war II Britain, at a turning point in the relationship between the two countries. A perfect…
