A Place to Call Home Season 2
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Admittedly, this isn’t the kind of show that I like. With that said, my wife thinks it’s wonderful, and it fills the void she had when Downton Abbey came to an end. As a matter of fact, in her opinion, it’s as good as that show.According to her, this series is more like a soap opera than anything else. With that said, it’s a great soap opera and the issues that are addressed in the series are relevant and powerful.This is a period drama, taking place in Australia during the early to mid 1950’s. It addresses a wide range of issues, ranging from lingering post-war anti-semitism, to many of the same social issues that are relevant today.- Expressed Reviews
I’ve really enjoyed this series – Maria Dusseldorp is a brilliant center to this lovely and dark period drama – with a complex web of story-lines and a vast cast of characters, as well as beautifully staged period sets and locations, it is a feast for the eyes and the mind. The only reason I’m knocking off one star is because the version of the Season 2 finale is a version that was shot as a series finale, when the show had been cancelled by its original station – there is a cliffhanger version which sets up the entire story line for season 3 which is the one they should include. Otherwise, this is a terrific series – I’m looking forward to Season 4!- E. Talerico
LOVED the first season so much I watched it three times on T.V. First broadcast, and then second time around on two different days on our public broadcasting. So the second season I couldn’t WAIT for the t.v. station to broadcast (they said they might not do so anyway). Bought this and dived in to find out what happened to my characters (love the location shots, wow!).THIS season, though, is HEAVIER than the first one, addressing challenges due to the historical era…homosexuality/world war II/ and post-war issues, both male female…but the characters are still interesting, and I do care about them. That level of care doesn’t usually happen in any but the best written scripts. So, 4 and maybe even 4.5, but due to the heavy subject matter, not quite as enjoyable as Season One, that had it’s own issues…- SadieBookLady14
