Tom Carneĭemelza’s dad had been utterly awful (to put it mildly) to his daughter before she was taken in by Ross, and let us not forget the beating he gave to our curly-haired Cornishman precisely for doing that. His well-awaited demise meant freedom and justice for our Morwenna so frankly: good riddance. Reverend Ossie Whitworthįar more memorable, but also a lot more evil, Ossie sits low down this list because we can’t bear the idea of him being any higher. We’re off to a slow start here because poor Monk was a B Plot villain who is only really memorable for enabling Ross to duel in season 4 and looking like the shark from Finding Nemo. So, in a vain attempt at girding our loins for what is to come, we thought we might do a quick In Memoriam segment for our favorite Cornwall community, looking back on those we sadly lost over the previous five seasons, as well as those we purposely (and likely thankfully) misplaced. (And Ned’s was no picnic.) But with Ross’ own life hanging in the balance in Episode 7, we’re not sure this show is done making us emotional just yet. Some of these exits are more heartbreaking than others, of course.

Poldark’s final season may have claimed its first significant character death last week, with the execution of Ned Despard, but it’s hardly the first time the Grim Reaper has visited the fine folks of Cornwall. There are underlying messages about humanity's flaws and how we do suffer the consequences of our actions but also the value of love, forgiveness, and compassion is emphasized.By Laura Stanley 3 years ago Poldark Season 5 may have claimed it’s first significant casualty last week, but it’s the latest in a long line of dramatic demises we’ve seen on the show. I like how the characters are flawed and realistic, but still recognizably noble and heroic. I love historical fiction but a lot of television includes way too much violence, rape, and heroes with extremely confusing and questionable ethics. I also would love to see more television like this. I hope there are many more seasons to come (preferably with more episodes in each season). I can't say enough about how good this show is and everyone involved deserves accolades from the actors to the producers and writers and costume and set designers. Ross Poldark is one of my favorite characters of all time.

The only thing that I wish was different is that there were more episodes in a season. I signed up for an account just so I could rate this series BECAUSE IT IS THAT AWESOME. I use IMDB all the time to look at reviews but I never leave them.
