Format:DVD
A Victorian look into the lives of the wealthy and aristocratic from New England to Old. Right up there with North & South and Wives & Daughters as some of the best BBC productions in recent years. Carla Gugino and Greg Wise are amazing as is the English countryside used for locations. You won't be able to turn this one off. Too bad Wharton never finished the novel as the ending leaves you longing for more.

Format:DVD
This is right up there with North & South and Wives & Daughters as one of the best BBC productions in recent years (although this one goes back a while). Carla Gugino and Greg Wise are amazing, as are the English scenery and locations. Mira Sorvino is over the top but kind of fun anyway as a South American Heiress. Too bad the novel was unfinished as the miniseries sort of leaves you wishing for more...

I enjoyed this dvd enormously and am happy to have in my library.
It really gives you an up close and personal look of the times.
The middle class or nouveau riche excluded from American Society (and that's an oxymoron)
buying their way in.

Rape is not entertainment
I am giving this version of the Buccaneers a terrible review for no other reason than because it contains a rape scene. Rape is not entertainment, it is violence against women. Read more

I bought this dvd because reviews said it was the best series of BBC for years and I like costume drama. But it was a good story, but the best ever. Read more

Buccaneers is very very enjoyable for a romantic like me.
Historical background is respected; you learn about the era's values and ways of life; actors depict their roles very well; overall, very very tasteful and enjoyable.

Who knew?
This series was not what I expected! I thought that it would be light entertainment, you know, girl meets boy, she's beautiful, he's rich...etc. Read more
