Selfridge Season 3
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
I loved seasons 1 & 2. But season 3 is quite a disappointment! I’m finishing the series because I loved the first two seasons so much I kept hoping it would return to its former charm (that, and I’m recovering from back surgery, so being stuck in bed leaves me few options).This season, the storylines have veered far from anything near the realm of truth of the actual Mr. Selfridge’s life. They are overly dramatic and ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as the Tointon sister’s (Selfridge sister’s) acting… Really, really bad! They are British, it turns out, speaking in American accents, which is over done and it sounds like they’re at best, over enunciating, but more likely yelling their lines.My last criticism is for the hairstylist. What is the deal?! Most of the curly hairstyles (which by the way, while I’m no expert, I don’t think are at all appropriate for the time period), look the way mine did as a 10 year old, the morning after I took out those pink styrofoam curlers my mom put in the morning before; Frizzy and out of control.- Kellimirelli
What a delight! Every episode of Mr. Selfridge is a feast for the eyes: the costumes, window displays, street scenes, merchandise on display and so much more are incredibly and happily stimulating visually. And what of the plot? Well, no spoilers here, just suffice it to say that this charming period drama is a soap for people who don’t like soaps. The performances? Stellar! But, you know that if you’re on season 3. You’ve come this far, take the plunge and watch on! Can your life ever be complete without knowing the fates of these unforgettable Characters?- Someone Astonishing
I loved watching this series and watching how women’s clothes, hair and makeup changed over a very short period of time. The British suffragette movement was extremely influential, and World War I necessitated women needing clothes they could actually move in. Enter the French slip-dresses and pants, exit the corsets and bustles, voila! Flappers ? The whole series is a history lesson with enough comedy and drama to keep it interesting. Mr Selfridge was a true genius, and as such, prone to being his own worst enemy. Keep your eyes on the annoying Kitty, she blossoms into the strongest character!The only storyline I didn’t really care about was Victor and the role of the British mobsters, but that’s an important part of US history as well. Everything that happens during the series predates US history and culture by about 10 years.- M.G.
