Forsyte Saga Collection



Two Parts United: A Great Cast (And An Unforgettable Damian Lewis) Bring This Multigenerational Saga To Life
Note: This production has been and is available seperately as The Forsyte Saga, Series One and Two. If you already own them, this is not an upgrade with new content and there is no reason to repurchase. This is for those new to the show, you can buy both parts together.

Previously released in two installments, "The Forsyte Saga" is finally being compiled in its entirety. The first six-part Masterpiece Theater miniseries was presented in 2002 with the second story arc of four episodes airing in 2003. Based on the works of John Galsworthy, this isn't the first time British TV tackled this epic family drama. A BBC production of the same name debuted in 1967, ran for 26 episodes, and figured in both the 1968 BAFTA and the 1970 Emmy races (after it premiered stateside). Some will contend that this original presentation is better or more complete and with a considerably longer running time, I'd be hard pressed to disagree with this assessment. Be that as it may, I think...

Fabulous
the acting in this series is outstanding. my husband liked it better than pride and prejudice and we both were just so sad when the last disc ended. i would recommend this series to anyone and everyone.

Great
This is a wonderful series. So well cast and the costumes and scenery are spectacular. If you like Dowton Abbey you will also like this. It was fun to see Damien Lewis in another role besides Homeland!
