Reckless (1999)

Very Entertaining

From the moment I saw the preview of Reckless on A&E I wanted to see it. I enjoyed it so much I wanted to get it on DVD. I was not disappointed with my purchases. The movies are clear and the commentary at the beginning builds your anticipation if you haven't seen the movie before. I also got the Sequel and I enjoyed it also. I saw so many angles in the story-plot, and I learned something from the story the four times I've watched it; I know I will be watching it many more times. I liked the relationship between Owen and Anna, and I disliked Anna's egotistical husband who deserved what he got! June 25, 2008

Great cast; acting; drama/comedy

All of the main characters are wonderful and the smaller parts are also very well acted. Another BBC success.
I recently watched Michael Kitchen in Foyle's War and loved it so looked for more w/ him.
This doesn't disappoint.
Ah, the 4th disc (The Sequel) is broad comedy with some guffaw moments and is just as good as the first 3 episodes. it's still drama though. April 25, 2008

Original still really great...sequel ok

Owen, Anna, Dr. Crane, Owen's Dad and all the others too. After nearly 10 years Reckless (the original) still has all it's charm, wit and really great individual developed characters to provide a really fun time. The sequel comes with it as a throw in so no reason to complain. The great bottle neck guitar soundtrack is great too. Just get it. The DVD has all the pieces other reviews talk about missing from the VHS tape versions. November 18, 2007

Fun! Fun! Fun!

A real must see for those who like romantic comedies of Masterpiece Theatre quality. A successful businesswoman happily married for several years to a surgeon discovers he has been unfaithful to her, decides to return the favor, and falls in love in the process. See both Reckless and Reckless the sequel to see how it all turns out August 23, 2007

A British Valentine

This series, first shown on Masterpiece Theatre, has everything, including romance, comedy and sex, sometimes at the same time. All of the actors are wonderful, displaying perfect comic timing. The dramatic scenes are often poignant.
The love story may be central to the plot, but the adventures of Anna and Owen touch the lives of their relatives, friends and business associates in unexpected ways. The settings range from city, to lush countryside to a working man's neighborhood and pub, to a bustling hospital. There's lots of action as well as some incredibly steamy love scenes.
Reckless is a series to watch more than once. I never tire of revisiting Anna and Owen and all the other characters. October 11, 2005
