Previously: George got himself a seat in Parliament, which Ross could have prevented. But didn’t. Whitworth started banging Morwenna’s sister. D has a plot with an annoying puppy. (It’s not Garrick. Garrick is an angel, how dare you.) Prudie and Tholly sit on the cliffs over the sea, passing a flask back and forth and singing. Prudie notices three ships coming in, and Tholly look at them through his spyglass. They’re French. Prudie runs to … Continue reading Poldark 3.08
Previously: Ross is an idiot, Whitworth is disgusting, and Aggie died. D and Ross visit Aggie’s grave, which is marked by a simple wooden cross. D is aghast and disgusted that Aggie is in a pauper’s grave with no headstone. Ross says firmly that she WILL have a headstone. She was the last of the Trenwith Poldarks. “Barring Geoffrey-Charles.” At said Trenwith, George sits at his desk, while Elizabeth and Poor Baby Val (and a … Continue reading Poldark 3.07
Mild content warning for spousal abuse and rape. Previously: Morwenna was forced to marry Whitworth. Enys is coping. George is an asshole. A fire rages with a village celebration, and there’s music and dancing. Sam sits uncomfortably at all of this frivolous gaiety, then Tholly strides in, announcing that he’s the new gravedigger. “Graverobber, you mean?” laughs Ross. Tholly also now has a daughter, Emma, who zeros in on the cute brooder in the corner … Continue reading Poldark 3.06
Note: the recaps this season are written from the British airings, which often have 6-10 minutes that the US airings do not.

Morwenna and Drake went through levels in their relationship story. George assured Whitworth that he will receive a “favorable answer” within a month. George wakes up, and morning is … Continue reading Poldark 3.05

Note: the recaps this season are written from the British airings, which often have 6-10 minutes that the US airings do not. If you’re reading this and going “Hey, I don’t remember that!” that’s probably why. Previously: Enys is alive! And imprisoned! George is social climbing like whoa. Elizabeth is using opiates to manage her anxiety. This episode uses a lot of short scenes and quick cuts, which makes great visuals but is hell to … Continue reading Poldark 3.03
Note: the recaps this season are written from the British airings, which often have 6-10 minutes that the US airings do not. If you’re reading this and going “Hey, I don’t remember that!” that’s probably why. Previously: Ross went to France to find Enys. In Cornwall, D and Jeremy stand on the cliffs. “Where is he, Jeremy? Papa has been gone a long while, hasn’t he? Where could he be.” Uh, France? Ross and Tholly … Continue reading Poldark 3.02
It’s the season finale, y’all! We made it! Morning, on the cliffs. D, in a dark blue dress picks flowers. She still has her resting murderface. In the mine, the miners mine, and Ross counts out coin, and Zacky takes his pay. A mine that actually yields money! “Not just coin. Riches!” Ross says. (See, this is why reopening Grace wasn’t a terrible decision on his part – staying in the boat building thing would … Continue reading Poldark 2.09
Previously: that thing happened and then D was all of us and punched Ross out. Demelza sings as dawn breaks over the still mine. Ross sits in his office in the mine, sporting a bruise over one eye, and remembering the bodies being brought out of the mine and D comforting him before he betrayed all of human decency. Henshawe comes in and tells Ross that people from another mine are here to ask if … Continue reading Poldark 2.08
Previously: All sorts of shit. Trigger warning for sexual assault at the end of the episode. In the yard at Nampara, D takes in the laundry and Jud comes in to talk to Ross. D eyes them darkly, and Ross tells her that Jud brought a proposal from Trencrom. D asks him if Ross will never learn, and Ross is like, no, probably not. D reminds him that he’s standing trial for the whole smuggling … Continue reading Poldark 2.07
Previously: Stuff. In Tru-mouth, soldiers wander through the streets, and McNeil and the Excise Man, Vercoe, discuss the events in France (what’s up, King Louis’ head?) while they observe Trencrom, who is prooooooobably planning his next smuggling run. They are hoping to catch him off guard. Two men walk into the yard at Nampara with a mule while D is sawing a log, and she glares and then yells for Garrick to run them off. … Continue reading Poldark 2.07
