Still liking The Paradise? Not a spoiler

MoJoV — Sat, 25 Oct 2014 04:08:37 GMT

I wasn't liking it for a few episodes (the French woman with the unintelligible accent for one). But the last few are bringing me back. Anyone still watching?

I'm watching, loving it. That Frenchwoman-what the heck was that all about? The Frenchwoman with the Denise Darcel accent. Let's just keep it to the original cast, no more new people, ok? Thanks.

YES, of course I am still watching ............. but there is no Episode 3, they say it was too expensive to produce and not enough watchers ........... I don't understand why!

There won't be a Season 3 which was determined last year. It was too costly to produce each episode and when Mr Selfridges started, BBC decided they didn't want 2 similar shows based on dept. stores. So far I'll take what I can get of The Paradise I think there is a total of 8 episodes for Season 2.

Did you see the opulence of the Paradise? The bureaus, all those lavish furnishings, chandeliers, linens! I said to my DH, this must have been VERY costly to produce. Then you have the horses and the costumes, the homes. Yes, I can see it being very expensive to make.

There was a show called Homefront that ran for about two years in '91. Wonderful show. John Slattery was in it (Mad Men). But it was set in the 1940s and one day it was just gone-said too much to produce. The cars I think put them over the edge, hahaha. Very unfortunate. I can also see how hard it was with those rolled hair styles I loved so much, and the right cosmetics and looks. I guess they figured it wasn't worth it. But it was.

I'm not liking Moray being so underhanded now. The woman who plays Catherine is a fantastic actress, isn't she?

I was going to post about the Paradise this morning, to see if I was the only one still watching!

My opinion of Moray has changed as well, he is jealous of Denise and I am afraid Catherine is going to control him!

I don't think he is jealous of Denise. I think all those strange looks he gets on his face are because of guilt and how he is deceiving her with Catherine. He should have told her. And I think Catherine is wonderful. The dignity and demeanor of this woman is incredible. Also, I'd really love it if Moray would speak above a whisper once in a while. I've been seeing Denise in a number of shows lately-one being Ms. Marple but I forget what else.

I just started watching, really like it! So this is the last season? Too bad...

I watched season 1 on Netflix and have been watching season 2 each Sunday night. I like it enough to watch until the end of the series. The theme music gets stuck in my head, though.

My husband is not at all into anything Masterpiece , but he watched one episode with me. We both think the actress who plays Catherine strongly resembles Danica Patrick of auto racing.

I also enjoyed watching Death Comes to Pemberley on PBS immediately following The Paradise.

I read on Facebook that this episode is the finale, I didn't realize this! I hate this will be the end!

I watched a few episodes this season but lost interest. Maybe I should have stuck with it, but I erased all the recorded episodes. Maybe I'll take another look at it when it comes to Netflix...

I just started watching this season and I really like the show. Is tonight the final episode or season finale? I heard it was cancelled.

I liked the show but it seemed like things were wrapped up. I didn't see next weeks promo.

That was the season finale, and there will not be another season, so I guess Denise & Moray will live happily ever after!

The Paradise got cancelled, so no season 3. Too bad. SHOPR, good call on the Danica Patrick resemblance - maybe that is who I was think of ... both seasons I just kept staring at her trying to figure out who she reminds me of.

They both look very petite, too.

Too bad the show has ended.

I am in Paradise...withdrawal. This is my favorite show, and while the ending was promising, there is still so much story to be told. The "Save the Paradise" petition is still going strong and is active, if any of you would like to sign it. Also the "Save the Paradise" facebook page is full of posts by people like us who really can't understand the BBC cancelling such a well-loved show. I thought Moray looked so sad during this last episode. I want more...I want a wedding, children...I want Miss Audrey to come back...and Pauline. No one ever explained what happened to Pauline. Other shows have been saved, sometimes by another network or by Netflix. Lets hope we are as lucky.
