John Galsworthy’s nine novels created the inimitable Forsyte family, exploring their triumphs and tragedies over four tumultuous decades. First filmed in the 1960s, the books came to life again in these two sweeping miniseries in 2002 and 2003, featuring Damian Lewis as Soames Forsyte and Gina McKee as Irene, plus an excellent supporting cast: Rupert Graves, Ioan Gruffudd, Corin Redgrave, Emma Griffiths Malin, and Lee Williams. The Forsyte Saga is a compelling drama of love, adultery, obsession, power, and money. The critically-acclaimed series spans three generations of the upwardly mobile Forsyte family at the turn of the 20th century. (Via Vision Entertainment)

A new take on John Galsworthy's popular saga. It’s a classic Hollywood film that not many people found retroactively, but that doesn't change the fact that it's excellent. The 1960s series has remained deeply etched in the memories of those who remember it. And for the new generation, this new mini-series has been created, owing nothing to its predecessors.
