In the dying days of Edwardian England, English aristocrat Christopher Tietjens finds himself marrying Sylvia, a beautiful but cruel socialite who is pregnant with a child who may or may not be his. Christopher is determined to remain loyal to his wife, but his life is transformed the day he meets Valentine Wannop, a fearless young suffragette. Moving from the glittering yet shallow world of London high society to the trench-scarred battlefields of France, Parade's End is the story of one of the defining eras of the last century; a time when old certainties are being torn down and lives are changed forever.

A well-made and pleasant mini series. This seems to be a feet-up movie, nothing challenging, but it has a good plot. The cast is perfect. The only thing that bothered me about the series was the timeline. I would have welcomed two episodes extra so it wouldn’t have to be so rushed and some of the side plots could have been developed upon. I have a weakness for this sort of British period piece, but I really felt this suffered from the big jumps in time between episodes. I would give this three and a half, but because I found the closing minutes entertaining, I’ll go to 4* ()
