Berkeley Square // Thoughts (or you could call it a review)

Oh hey, Wildflowers!
Been a while since I've rambled about a movie or series, hasn't it? Well, today I have a whole post for you about this ten episode mini-series called Berkeley Square.
I found out about this from another blogger and I am so glad we watched it because as I am about to show you, it's really good!

Alrighty, so Berkeley Square follows the story of three nannies during 1902, who all work in different households in Berkeley Square, London and end up all becoming friends.
The stories of them and the families they work for all intertwine in a most wonderful way and the whole thing is very entertaining.


The Nannies

Hannah Randall is Irish(and starts of as a ladies maid), and her story begins when she has just lost the father of her baby(born out of wedlock)to a riding accident. Hannah then seeks employment in London, and after some struggles lands a job working as a live-in nanny in Berkeley Square, while her baby is left in the care of a Polish woman she met on her arrival in London.

Lydia Weston is a country girl, who is employed by her family' landlord to assist their elderly nanny and better her self by getting a respectable job.
She is quite a darling girl, innocent and unfamiliar with the ways of the rich and city folk, but she succeeds in being a great nanny and good friend.

Matty Wickam is probably my favourite because of her cute romance with Ned Jones! They are a cute couple who don't really get along at first, which makes it all the better.
Ned is employed in as a footman in the house where Matty works as a hiding place. He is wanted for a suspected murder which was really just a self-defence case. The housekeeper is his mother, hence why she gets him employed. Anyway, back to Matty.
Matty is a stern but friendly nanny if that makes any sense!


The Story

Even though the plot is quite simple, it has it's suspenseful and emotional moments. There are characters you despise and those that you love, which is essential to have a good story.
Also, I must mention the children in this show are adorable, especially Bertie! Bertie is Hannah's nannying child and he's very sweet. Everyone is just so lovable! Well, mostly everyone...

Ned is such a darling which the children. He and Matty are one of the highlights of Berkeley Square in my opinion. They sort of have a hate-to-love- thing at first, but the moments when they acknowledge their feelings for each other are the best.
Okay, okay, I'll stop rambling about them!

As for content, there is a slight bit of language but nothing too bad and a case of adultery. But all is resolved in the end, I shall say that.

All in all, this was a great find and the best part is that the entire series is on YouTube! (So you have no excuse not to watch it!)

So, tell me, will you be watching this now?
