Poldark Review

The finale of Poldark’s 4th season was pretty good. The season overall was fairly decent. There was a stinker episode here and there, but it was good overall. It was obvious very early on that Elizabeth was going to do something dramatic and risky. She did and she suffered for it. Will Ross accept some blame at some point in the future? After all, it was kind of his idea to give George about 8 month pregnancy.

Morwenna finally wed Drake. I am glad that happened. Now, we can move on past that and see whether or not they can be happy together. Caroline has decided to give motherhood another chance. Meanwhile, Dwight is suspicious of Elizabeth’s death. Will he uncover the truth and what will he do about it? I enjoyed the finale a lot. It scores a good 8 out of 10.
