One wrote: "What a glorious production... The feel of the book and the eccentric characters together with the brilliant addition of modern music soundtrack made this the most enjoyable TV drama I've seen in a long time." Another commented: "Refreshing, visually stunning and great acting! Watched it for Lily James and Andrew Scott. Lily is on another level, she's perfect as Linda."
More Viewer Reactions
- "I love romantic movies and this mini series fits the bill. Beautiful costumes, wildly impossible characters, and a bittersweet ending. What more can you ask for?"
- "Where to begin? It was an absolute delight indeed. A very brave - and successful effort by [Emily] Mortimer with a superb casting. Adaptations are always criticized, specially one so modern, but it's easy to see the book and its essence was very well understood this time."
The Pursuit of Love is available to stream for free on U.
