Bramwell

I agree with most reviews. 1-3 were amazing and I had hoped that the story line and character of Eleanor would have stayed there. It would have been lovely to see the relationship between the doctors. Bringing in a soldier was useless and irrelevant.

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.

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.

How could a series take such a bad turn with writing, directing and acting not to mention settings, lighting and music. Seasons 1 thru 3 were enjoyable but I found it astounding that Eleanor was so dumb as to not see she was being used. But then the 4th season train wreck happened and proved that yes, in fact, Eleanor is that stupid. They should have ended it with season 3.

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.
