Brimming with passion, romance, and intrigue, this compulsively watchable drama is a "down-under 'Downton'" (Fort Worth Star-Telegram). It has all the right ingredients: an aristocratic family, a country estate, a powerful widowed matriarch, buried secrets, sprawling cast, period costumes, and a great soundtrack. Set in Australia against the social change of the 1950s, it stars Marta Dusseldorp (Jack Irish) as nurse Sarah Adams, who has returned home after 20 years in Europe and the horrors of WWII. When the series was abruptly canceled after Season 2, fans were so outraged that two more seasons are now in the works. 10 episodes, 7 1/4 hrs, 4 DVDs, SDH.
