"I greatly enjoyed both Series 1 and 2. The costumes are spectular. The plot can be a little tedious at times, but there is an impressive cast of different characters coming and going throughout the series. It's also pleasantly predictable, so a lot of fun. My only complaint is that the last episode is a mild cliff hanger, and later episodes aren't available. My compliments to amazon.com for carrying these reviews. It was the only place I found that indicated that there are more episodes to come on DVD. Not even the BBC.UK website provided that information! Thanks, Amazon and volunteer reviewers!"
You can only get 3/4 of the story

"Realy liked the series; but after spending $150 I was upset to find out , after watching it for a long time, they never finished making it. They leave you up in the air. They never made volume 4. So as the whole thing is falling apart you can't find out what happens. The family is splitting as is the business..............There's a part four in the book ( which I don't have ) Think they shoud make you aware they are not going to let you in on the ending before you buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The House of Eliott

"I thoroughly enjoyed Seasons 1, 2 and 3 of the House of Eliott. The acting was fantastic, the dresses magnificent and the locations, as with most English mini-series, marvelous. My only complaint is that it doesn't end!! THere is no closure to this. As you approach the last chapter of Season 3 you start to wonder how they are going to wrap it all up in the little time that is left, and - oh surprise! - things are left unsettled and you feel that you need one more season to see how things worked out for everyone! Is there any chance that there is a Season 4 out there somewhere????"
A gem!
