This wasn’t my favorite, by any stretch of the imagination, British TV costume miniseries, but it’s still worth a watch. A very complicated tale telling the interweaving stories of various members of the Forsyte family. I think my big stumbling block was Gina McKee as Irene — she just doesn’t work for me. Lots of people are excited about the bustle gowns, but I don’t think they’re that remarkable. Worth a watch but don’t expect greatness.
Yes. Gina McGee was a terrible casting choice. I have re-watched it and still don’t get it. She is passive to the point of comatose. Let’s face it, she is a character actress and the constant mention of her beauty stumps me.
1) SOMEONE GETS ME
2) I actually think she’s lovely, but she’s a block of wood in this!
