Compare Prices on Emma – A Victorian Romance Season 1

The basic formula is nothing special. William Jones, a member of a relatively newly rich family, pays a visit to his aging aged governess Kelly Stowner, now a retired member of the middle class. In the process he promptly falls for her personal maid Emma, hired as she’s getting on in years and needs aid with the usual household chores, in spite of his father increasingly pressing him to pay suit to Eleanor Campbell, the daughter of a family he would like to combine with. The fun really starts when William’s sinister, self-assured, hookah addicted friend Prince Hakim Atawari arrives from India for a visit. When Hakim starts crushing on Emma and makes a fade, William finally starts to realize that he can’t be pleased without Emma. But with their class differences, the road to honest treasure won’t be an easy one. They do have two things going for them, however – Mrs. Stowner, who wants to earn the happiness of the two young people she loves as her health declines, and Hakim, who fast recovers from being shot down by Emma once he becomes aware of his buddy’s interest and sets himself to ensuring that they wind up together…
The two major strengths of the series are it’s astonishing detail (Victorian London is a character in itself) and the avoidance of having the characters become cardboard cutouts. Although basically a suitable guy, William isn’t a saint, and his refusal to sever things off with Eleanor in his attempts to appease his father is borderline cruel. Hakim could have been a first-class jerk but becomes mighty more as the series progresses, giving William verbal smackdowns as the audience’s surrogate, and repeating as important. Things always liven up when he’s around. Eleanor, who could have been written as a money-grubbing she-devil, is extremely sympathetic and has genuinely fallen in care for with William, trying desperately to figure out what she’s doing rank when she’s not at fault and William won’t be objective with her. It’s even possible to be slightly sympathetic towards William’s father, who knows that a relationship between William and Emma would likely completely undo all his hard work to derive the family where it is.

For romance fans in general and fans of Victorian England and Jane Austinish novels in particular. Impartial designate that there are only subtitles and no English dub (we’re lucky a chance was taken on distributing it at all), you’ll want to avoid the spoilish Gazette booklet until after watching it through, and this is only Season 1 of 2 – which means, of course, that it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger.
A fair minute series that really grows on you. The yarn of William and Emma is not fast-paced, but it’s probably one of the more true-to-life deceptions of romance you’ll ever peek. The setting of Victorian London is almost the third main character, it’s realism giving you an educational belief of another world.
