Desperate Romantics


BBC Two's 'The Desperate Romantics' was just as exciting as looking at some of the Pre-Raphaelite's art in person. Set in London in the 19th-century it shown us the personal lifes and work of the famous artists. All the actors played the characters really well, specially Aidan Turner who was electrifying as Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The show shown us how the artists came about to painting some of their most recognised works of art, like John Everett Millais's Ophelia. The show was terrific to watch which stayed loyal to some of the real events that took place. The only problem with show was that they tried to cram too much things into the series, because Rossetti didn't marry Lizzie Siddal until 1860 not 1850. I jsut can't wait for the next seris to start.
