  • "The story of Soames Forsyte, a solicitor and the wealthy head of a middle-class family in London during the 19th century."
  • "It is late in the Victorian era, and two branches of an upper-crust family--the "good" Forsytes, headed by well-meaning Old Jolyon, and the "bad" Forsytes, headed by crusty barrister James--are at odds, eternally squabbling. The 'saga' focuses on the younger generations - Young Jolyon, Soames, Winifred, June - and their struggles with emotional repression, the rejection of Victorian mores, and the sea changes taking place as a less repressive society emerged. Every family may indeed have its vicissitudes, but few have as many as John Galsworthy's Forsytes."
  • "Epic series spanning three generations of the upwardly mobile Forsyte family at the turn of the 20th century. Based on the classic novels by Nobel Prize-winning author John Galsworthy. This sexy and powerful drama makes compelling viewing with its high production values, beautiful locations and top-notch cast more than doing justice to the tale of sexual jealousies, estrangement, infidelities, rape and divorce set against a backdrop of cultural and social change, private opulence and political chaos."
  • "Het wel en wee van drie generaties van een machtige Londense familie."
  • ""John Galsworthy's classic tale of a rich and powerful English family rocked by sexual jealousies, infidelities and the turbulent transition to the modern age. Set at the turn of the 20th Century, this BAFTA award winning series spans three generations of the Forsytes as they experience a tumultuous period in British history"--Container."

  • "Based on the celebrated novels by John Galsworthy, set amidst the social upheaval of the Victorian era through the 1920s, two British miniseries tell of a rich and powerful family divided by ambition, adultery, and revenge. Series One stars Damian Lewis as Soames Forsyte, a successful London solicitor and wealthy scion of a respectable upper-middle-class Victorian family, while Series Two continues the story of young love in the next generation. A lavish production, seen on Masterpiece Theatre."
  • "The extended Forsyte family live a more than pleasant upper middle class life in Victorian and later Edwardian England. The two central characters are Soames Forsyte and his cousin Jolyon Forsyte. Soames is a solicitor, all proper and straight-laced. His love for the beautiful Irene is his only weakness as is his beautiful daughter Fleur. Jolyon is the opposite, a free-thinking artist who abandons his wife to live with his children's nanny. Their lives and their children's lives will intersect over 30 years bringing happiness to some and tragedy to others. ."
