Set in Edwardian England, this four-part adaptation of E.M. Forster's classic novel tells the story of Margaret and Helen Schlegel, two independent and unconventional sisters seeking love and meaning as they navigate an ever-changing world. Margaret and Helen Schlegel are intelligent and idealistic young women living together with their hypochondriac younger brother Tibby in Edwardian London. Since the death of their parents and despite their interfering Aunt Juley's best intentions, the sisters lead independent and slightly unorthodox lives. After meeting the wealthy and conservative Wilcox family on holiday, Margaret forms a friendship with the older and more traditional Ruth Wilcox. When Ruth unexpectedly dies, Margaret finds herself increasingly drawn to the newly widowed Henry Wilcox, a self-made businessman who inherits his late wife's beloved country home Howards End. Meanwhile, the passionate and capricious Helen takes up the cause of Leonard Bast, a young bank clerk who is struggling to make ends meet, trapped by his promise to marry his alluring but vulnerable lover Jacky.

Howards End (2017)
Here’s the thing - I originally thought the series would be about something completely different. My bad, I should have read the synopsis. I was entertained by the story at times but also slightly bored at other times. What I would highlight is definitely the interesting cast, but otherwise it was nothing special.

Episode 1 (2017) (E01)
I was expecting a slow, leisurely-paced story set in the English countryside, and I got half of that (the slow pace). There's not much to say about the plot after the first episode, but the cast really impressed me. DI Edmund Reid and Peggy Carter were great, but the real standout was Tracey Ullman!

Episode 2 (2017) (E02)
The second episode convinced me that something is missing from the story. I love the era and setting, but I just can't fully get into the plot. Maybe it's because I'm oddly obsessed with idealized films and series set in English country estates, and the title of this show was a bit misleading.

Episode 3 (2017) (E03)
Alright, the third episode brought some life to the plot, and the storyline got interesting. However, I still feel shortchanged by the lack of the expected "upstairs, downstairs" dynamic. I'm curious to see how the creators will wrap things up, and I think four episodes is just the right length.

Episode 4 (2017) (E04)
The finale didn't really hit the mark for me. The plot dragged along, which I wouldn't mind so much if the creators hadn't suddenly rushed to wrap up all the storylines in the last ten minutes. It's a shame they didn't end the series with Meg announcing her move to Munich — if they had, I would've given it an extra star.
