Bramwell

Season 3 not so much, and Season 4 is embarrassing..or it should be. The characters lose all of the traits and behaviors that made them so endearing. And there were some excellent stories in the first couple of seasons, but season 4 shows this very smart woman acting like she had a frontal lobotomy. It's as if the series was written by two different sets of writers.

Do watch the first two seasons, maybe skip the later ones if you've come to love the characters. The synthesizers used for the music in the last two episodes have no place in the 1890's!

I've watched this series several times over the years. What an abomination the last season was, and it seems to be everyone's overwhelming opinion, which is why I've taken away the last two stars. I guess the writers decided to just make some huge change to characters for the sake of making changes. What a betrayal to the characters. It was ended on such a low, low note. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. No one said anything while reading the script and went ahead with production? So go ahead and watch the show, and skip the last season. I'd rather walk away from a quality project with unanswered questions instead of a huuuuuge disappointment.

I came upon this miniseries by accident, and I am glad I did. I'd never heard of it, but it sounded interesting. It really does a good job of portraying what London and medicine probably were like back in the 1800's. Though not an overtly feminist piece, it does depict what women doctors had to go through to gain a bit of respect. The story line might be considered thin for four videos, but it held my interest enough so that I purchased it. If medicine, Merry Olde England, or good acting is of interest to the viewer, this is well worth watching.

I have followed "Bramwell" since I started watching the mini-series on PBS's "Masterpiece Theatre" a few years ago. The depiction of a female doctor in Victorian England is very entertaining and groundbreaking. I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in period drama or the history of medical practice.

Fantastic series. Season 3 was amazing and is a good ending for the show. I watched Season 4 despite the reviews and because I usually watch shows in their entirety. However, the last season, it was like watching someone on drugs. It was horrible. The music, the way it was shot, it was all truly painful to watch. I'm going to simply pretend that Season 4 doesn't exist.
