PBS Customer Service is the worst I have ever encountered. I will never ever order from PBS again. The inability to solve an issue is caused by PBS, not any single customer service personnel.

I bought both seasons and enjoyed the historical story-line!! I understand there was to be 5 seasons but ended up making only 2 seasons. It would be great to see the whole story!

Love this series. Can see many directions for a long-term series. The characters are well developed and the story line easy to follow. Thanks PBS for a exciting series that will challenge Downton in popularity.

Ordered this plus Dowton Abbey for $29 each including the tea bags. Indian Summer arrived with tea bags for roughly $37. Was promised a credit for the difference still have not received it. Hope when Downton Abbey arrives it is for $29 as promised.

Its been years since theres been a truly great series on the British in India. Finally, Indian Summers has arrived, and it is the series weve been waiting for. If you love India, the Raj, or both, you will love Indian Summers, which is destined, as cliche as it sounds, to become a classic. Get it now!

My wife and I are absolutely addicted to this wonderful series. We tired of waiting for each weekly episode, so bought the BluRay dvds. It is extremely well done, and the cinematography is stunning!

Review by Krishank on 07/17/20 review stating I love how the characters are developed
This has it all! Love, intrigue, and mystery and history. One reason I have enjoyed this so much is due to the time to get to know and love the characters portrayed in this movie, along with the families involved.

Is Indian Summers wide screen or full screen ?
Review by Lorette B. review stating Is Indian Summers wide screen or full screen ?
I am ordering Indian Summers which is on back-order. How do I know if this is a full screen or a wide screen version? I believe it is only fair that this will be mentioned in the catalog, instead of customers purchasing a cat in the bag, dont you think. I appreciate you informing me which of the above it is so that I may change my mind if it is not a full screen version it is. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Lorette F Blogg

Captivating historic drama and suspense series
Review by Jamn review stating Captivating historic drama and suspense series
Wound up watching this each week on all 3 PBS stations! I was fascinated by its historic content and the interwoven character development. It inspired me to acquire a few books on life during the Raj period to find out more about the challenges and conflicts amongst the Brits and the diverse population of India. Having seen the Jewel and the Crown twice, I believe Indian Summers presents more about the Indian views on colonization and Gandhis work toward a free and united India (a daunting challenge!).

A great introduction to the history of India at the turn of the 20th century, set in a series with characters to bring it to life.
