Desperate Romantics (2010)
Strong sex scenes and nudity
| Actors: | Aidan Turner, Sam Crane, Samuel Barnett |
It's London, 1851. The city is in the throes of the industrial revolution. But amongst the dirty red bricks and smoke stacks are four young, thrill-seeking artists - steadfast William Holman Hunt, naive John Millais, mischievous Dante Gabriel Rossetti and budding journalist Fred Walters - otherwise known as the Brotherhood. Their quest for artistic immortality takes them into some of the lewdest, darkest and funniest corners of the city. This 6 part series depicts a character-driven romp through the alleyways, studios, brothels and chop-houses of 19th century London. As seen on ABC1.

A great disappointment. Although depicting real lives, it was hard to take the acting seriously. Overacted and contrived. A bit like watching the old Batman series.

I didn't check the rating carefully enough and stopped watching after two minutes because of the bawdy, lewd content

Really liked this. Some fun, quirky, beleivable characters. No idea how true it is to history but a really enjoyable watch. Am off to see if there's more than three eps.
