Summary
  • 'The Forsyte saga' follows the lives of a powerful dynasty from the Victorian era through the turbulent transition into the modern age
  • 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
  • Based on Nobel Prize-winner John Galsworthy's chronicle, The Forsyte Saga follows the lives of a powerful dynasty from the Victorian era through the turbulent transition into the modern age. At the heart of the Saga is the arrogant rich Soames Forsyte (Damian Lewis) whose beautiful, yet rebellious wife Irene (Gina McKee) embarks on a passionate affair causing a bitter feud that cruelly rips apart the Forsyte family
