Really enjoyed this period drama series! The acting by the perfectly chosen cast was excellent and the beautiful scenic photography, even the slower pace made it more in tune with life in those days. Wish there had been more than one series.
Must've been a treat for Julian Fellowes to get his hands on a real Victorian novel, instead of churning out new eps of that pandering pastiche he's been working on for the last few seasons. "Thorne," OTOH, has a solid Trollopian plot (sundered lovers and missing heirs and family secrets) as well as a great cast--Ian McShane not exactly playing against type as a rough-diamond railroad magnate; nice to see Alison Brie of "Mad Men" as the husband-hunting heiress and Inspector Lewis's old boss as one of the snobbish gentlefolk. Stefanie Martini, who only has one other IMDb credit, is perfect as the strong-willed heroine (so much more relatable than those soupy Dickens girls!); not unexpectedly, the picturesque exteriors and the slightly dorky Mid-Victorian costumes and décor are right on the money.
We are enjoying the series very much. Unlike Jane Austen characters, these have a more human tone. Their hypocrisy is as modern as what we see in Hollywood or Washington DC. While Mary Thorne may seem to unfairly judge her station in society, for her time, she is on the mark. Illegitimate children in Victorian society were outcasts regardless of their character, intelligence, or beauty. Mary Thorne would have had no chance of marrying "above her station." Being a writer, I can see that this is quite likely to happen, although it could never have happened in reality. Perhaps she is the Wallace Simpson of her time. Let's hope so. This series is lightened by clever humor from time to time, keeping it entertaining while it carries forward a message and keeps us wanting more. I hope this show continues for some time.
Anthony Trollope's novels have been mined for TV productions for decades, so we shouldn't be surprised that Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes decided to take a crack at one. And he does rather well. Here's hoping he'll serialize Trollope's remaining Barsetshire books.
For readers of Trollope's novels (as with Jane Austen's) it can be a bit of a shock to see them somewhat sensationalized and in a necessarily condensed format. But the needs of present day audiences require it. Consequently, though, the result is often a sort of high-brow soap opera and Fellowes' Dr. Thorne is no exception.
However, the production is pretty, and the characterization right on point, if a bit over the top. Though for me, Ian McShane breathed life and depth into Trollope's somewhat one-dimensional Mr. Scatcherd. Alison Brie does the same for another Victorian cliché: the American heiress in search of a titled husband. With an ever-present smile, she makes Miss Dunstable's gently spoken directness seem downright raunchy. It's a delight to watch.
Why bother saying more. If you like the Downton Abbey genre, you are going to see this and you are going to like it. End of story.

- QuizSir Roger's son, Louis Scatcherd, is referred to as "Sir Louis" when he visits his ailing father. Since he has not yet inherited the baronetcy from his father, he would only be "Sir Louis" under three possibilities:
1) Louis has, somehow, been knighted on his own. 2) Sir Roger Scatcherd was able to claim the ancient right of a baronet to have his son knighted at age 21. Although such claims were being ended during the reign of George IV (1820 to 1830), perhaps Sir Roger got a special privilege as part of his baronetcy. 3) It was a goof.
- BlooperThe Squire's wife is "Lady Arabella" because she is an earl's daughter, but he himself is not titled, so their daughters should just be called "Miss." (This error occurs in the cast list; in Episode 2 they are addressed correctly.)
