The Mill

I've just discovered The Mill series available through Amazon Prime. I thought it might be a documentary and was even more pleased to be drawn into the series. The lives of the amazing characters were portrayed powerfully and beautifully. I want to see more!

Watched on Amazon prime the First 2 seasons. Got hooked on the storyline and some of the acting. But amazon prime run of the series ended after season 2 with tons of unanswered questions. I had been enjoying the show..

I wasn't expecting to like this so much. I found the writing and acting to be very good. I love when I get an interesting history lesson along with some engaging drama. Time we'll spent. Videography and costume quality were also quite good. I wish there were more seasons.

As a descendant of Cotton mill workers from south carolina, i can tell you that the potrayal of the hard life these people endured are very spot on. I had an aunt who went to school and the teacher paddled her hand, she told her mom she was not going back to that school, so she got a job in the mill at the ripe old age of 9. I heard stories of the bell that would be rung each morning to wake the workers to go to there daily jobs at the Vaucluse Mill in South carolina, this is a great show.

This clever Victorian drama set in 1830's England depicts the suffering and hardship of the working person through a time of change. And with great actresses like Kerrie Hayes who plays the role of apprentice Ester Price you can see the hardship those people endured through such difficult times. This drama passes through the events like the abolishment of slavery to the introduction of the poor law and as time moves on in the series we the affects of those events to take hold with the character's and environment. Finally like I mentioned before, this series has some brilliant actors & actresses that reflect hardship and evolution of the way who were poor are treated.
