Very enjoyable. Have watched complete mini series multiple times.
June 21, 2007Pretty much a good continuation of the Book One series. Good scenery. Good costuming. Good acting and believable characters but really more of a soap opera set in the civil war than a civil war saga. Battle scenes in peticular are quite stale.
One thing I did like was the conference of Jefferson Davis's cabinate which pretty much shows the audience why the South lost. Lack of unity in purpose as well as its inferior resources as compared to the North's. Confronted by the Northern strategy to blockade and strangle the south into submission while Northern armies move to take the Mississipi and occupy the northern parts of the Confederacy to divide it the main responce is for some to call Winfield Scott (who was born in Virginia) a traitor. When reasonable minds bring up the only means for the South with its much inferior resources to win indipendance by invading the North, the responce is to refuse since some Southern states won't go along and many would see it as a defeat of their 'Moral position'.
Overall this is not a war movie it is a soap opera set during the Civil war.
June 18, 2006 |  | When will I be able to find the third part of the Trilogy |  |
I've loved this series ever since I was a little girl when I first saw it on T.V. I've seen all three parts, North and South book 1, North and South book 2, and Heaven and Hell. I'm wondering when the third part will be out for sale. I want to add it to my collection.
January 24, 2005This is one of my favorite CW stories. I loved the books & thought, for once, they were well translted to film (as a TV mini-series)! What I want to know now is WHEN WILL "NORTH & SOUTH" & "NORTH & SOUTH, Book 2" be out on DVD, with some great extras from the stars; Swayze, Reed, Down, et al? I'd LOVE to hear Carridine's take on his evil character!!! C'mon Warner Bros, I WANT MY DVD!
June 18, 2004| | | North and South Book 1 and 2 | |
I have to say I loved the whole story, I saw Book 1 and Book 2 again recently. The story between the Hazards and the Mains was wonderful. From the friendship of George Hazard and Orrey Main to the oddness and excentricities of Virgilia Hazard as well and the scheming and lack of scruples of Ashton Main)Hontoon.
I think it is a wonderful story to be enjoyed by all, keep in mind there are some passionate scenes, of course by today's standards that may be a stretch. March 17, 2004
