Lightfields

Lightfileds take place at three different time intervals. The beginning of the story takes place during the WW2 era. The second part occurs in the 1970s, and the third occurs in the 2000s. All these intervals are connected, but you can only understand it at the very end of the story. I can say that most of the actors and actresses starring in this series did a good job. It is almost like a Victorian-era ghost story since it contested women's political, social, and legal positions. On the other hand, "jealousy" and "envy" are very well examined in this series. For that reason, I advise everyone to give it a try and watch this series. For me, it is an 8 over 10.

Fans of murder mysteries may find this series a bit frustrating for being overlong, with the lengthy dramatics ultimately failing to reveal the mystery in any meaningful way. I found myself completely losing interest, at which point I jumped to the end - I watched until episode 3 then jumped to the last 15 minutes of the last episode and don't feel like I missed out on much. That being said, if you are a lover of dramas, period pieces and rambling yarns, then this is certainly a high quality production with excellent acting. You may enjoy the relationships between the different characters, which takes place in 3 different time periods with links between all three. I, however, am more interested in the "mystery" elements so wasn't a big fan of the long rambling tale. For production value, I would give it an 8 but as a compelling mystery, I give it a 6.

Eva is evacuated to the country to escape Hitler's bombing raids, she's sent to Lightfields farm, where she befriends Lucy Felwood, both girls fall for a US airman named Dwight, and after a fling, Lucy is killed in a fire at the farm.

You know how it is, you put things off, and it's twelve years later, I always meant to revisit Lightfields, but the twelve year gap is an indicator of my views.

On paper it sounds fantastic, and the idea is really great, the though of a crime bleeding through into the future, a vengeful spirit out for revenge.

It's interesting enough, and it does end well, but the initial episodes are too slow, it's too padded, too much by way of unnecessary family feuds. Episodes four and five are very watchable though.

It's definitely well acted, Dakota Blue Richards arguably steals it, but the whole cast are good, it's so nice to see Kris Marshall playing a rogue for a change.

Not a patch on Marchlands, had this been three or four episodes long, it would have been so much better.

7/10.
