Art is forever changing. For every artist that creates work based on the standard of the era, there are other artists who are willing to take risks and try something new.
Desperate Romantics was a television miniseries that aired back in 2009. Starring Aidan Turner (Poldark), Amy Manson (Once Upon a Time), and Rafe Spall (Wide Sargasso Sea, a prequel to Jane Eyre), the program tells the story of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Set in Victorian era England, the viewers follow the story of four artists who set out to create a new way of seeing the world through painting.
When I originally heard about this series, it seemed to be right up my alley. It had all of the elements of a BPD (British Period Drama) that usually grab me as a viewer pretty quickly.
But, I am sorry to say that I couldn’t get into the series. There was something about it that just didn’t click.
Do I recommend it? Not really.
