Los Hardacre

As my heading says best show on tv for a long time, I absolutely loved it, the actors were all amazing and did the show proud there had better be a season 2. I really want to see how The Hardacres continue in the upper classes and feel this show has so much more to offer. A true crowd pleaser with everything you need in a good drama. Highs, lows, laughter and tears truly fantastic acting from all the cast. I want more of this with the same cast and more great storylines from the Hardacre family. Let's make it happen channel 5 I couldn't get enough of this truly heartwarming series and want to see more!

So many attempts at humorous disparaging comments, make you wonder why they bother watching then reviewing.

The thing is, its entertainment. Not a documentary not a bio. It may be clichéd and clearly not reality but it's also engaging and entertaining.

The overall package keeps you watching as the characters develop nicely and you can see the problems and diversions for the main characters slowly but surely developing.

Ma makes me laugh. Keeping all feet firmly on the ground whilst others are desperate to elevate their social standing, to start with at least.

View with an open mind and you'll enjoy the humour as well as the emotional ups and downs.

Wonderful period piece with layered characters and an interesting storyline. It has a Catherine Cookson flavour about the story, focusing on all stratas of the social ladder. Showcases hardship as well as good fortune but ultimately, the triumph of family values and strong friendships.

For those who need a character to admire and one to dislike,The Hardacres doesn't disappoint. The challenge will be to deliver a second series that engages viewers and develops characters in a realistic manner.

Well worth watching, especially for those who love a good period piece that is uplifting in its core messages.

I don't normally do reviews but I wanted to on this. I think this is the best that channel 5 have put on. Yes the first episode was rushed and could have been shown over 3 episodes but stick with it. I have Sky and Disney plus,Netflix and I'm enjoying this a lot more that what I pay for. I really hope they will do a season 2 after this finishes. I love period dramas and it's not Downton abbey but they haven't the budget obviously because it's channel 5. I think a lot of people will enjoy this,if they get over the first episode. Claire Cooper is brilliant in this and Julie Graham. Everyone needs to remember what channel it's on and it's not bad.

A super nice rags-to-riches period drama which has a high 'feel good' factor. The characters were quite well developed, well cast, and the acting was good. I would like to have seen a slower pace and a 'grittier feel' to give it some sense of reality and to get to know the characters on a deeper level. The perfect complexions and white pearly teeth did make it look a bit fake but the costumes were really good and the set was wonderful. Great entertainment which, with a bit of attention to some of the detail, could be a really great period drama. There's so many aspects of the story to be developed and expanded on. I'll certainly be watching for series 2.
