Masterpiece: The Forsytes
DVD · TV Series · 2025 –
The Forsytes chronicles the lives, loves, trials and triumphs of a wealthy Victorian era stockbroking family, whose generations are torn between tradition and self-sacrifice versus personal happiness and the pursuit of love. Family stability is threatened by two chance encounters for rival cousins, Jolyon and Soames, throwing their previously steady lives into disarray. Married Jolyon contends with the reappearance of his former lover, Louisa, a lady's maid-turned-dressmaker, while his daughter June falls for penniless architect Phil. Soames, meanwhile, is enchanted by the beautiful and free-spirited dancer Irene. All must decide whether to be ruled by the head or the heart.
