Anyone watching "Poldark" on PBS Masterpiece Theatre?

10. It's Kili!!

I have been watching and enjoying it. I kept thinking I recognized the actor playing Poldark and realized that it's Kili, one of the dwarves from The Hobbit. He was a knockout even as that character. Very handsome!

I also watched the original series and enjoyed that very much. There was a youtube video I watched a week or so back that was on the Making of Poldark, the first one, and it was very interesting. Interviewed the original actors and gave some good background on the series.

My only complaint about the new series is that it seems like every 5 minutes they have to have a scene with Ross galloping his horse back and forth on the road from place to place. There must be a better way to show that he has gone from one location to another. Now I dread its inevitability, almost a joke now....oh the galloping horse scene is coming next!

Glad to hear that there will be a second season.
