长篇影评
1 ) 快把maud脖子上的绳子拿下来！
女二是fingersmith里面的Miss Maud啊！当年多清新脱俗，时间真是把杀猪刀，一开始都没敢认，看着看着确定了，不过还是挺美丽的，演个女二绰绰有余。
maud肯定是得罪服装师了，为什么几乎每套衣服都不好看，还都在脖子上配个奇奇怪怪的丝带。丝带是有和服装颜色或者蕾丝呼应，但是好难看啊，脖子都分成两截了。为了看到maud的完整的脖子一口气看了五集，然后终于露出脖子了，脖子很美好嘛，没疤没皱纹，前面还一直以为演员脖子毁容了。
女二不是大小姐吗，为什么衣服都有廉价中国风的感觉，很多都是纯白配蕾丝，演员是白但是她穿纯白不好看啊，还有很多的方领子，方领子很毁人的好嘛。
服装师你就好好给人家准备几件收腰露肩膀的礼服就好啦，其他女配不都穿的挺好看的，弄那些艳俗的颜色和小花朵出来做啥，你向女演员求爱被拒绝了吗？还是她抢了你男朋友？
吐槽结束，下面来说下剧情。
看到是《妇女乐园》改编的马上跑去看了，妇女乐园是和傲慢与偏见都是看过很多次的名著（当言情小说看），一直想为什么没拍成电影。
故事其实也就借了个框架，很多关系都改了，denise在原著中是瘦弱的乡下小姑娘，除了一头金发没什么吸引人的地方。要照顾年幼的弟弟，生活非常拮据，叔叔也对她没这么好。也没有这么伶牙俐齿，最可取的是默默坚持。 最重要的是是穆雷先生先喜欢denise的，也没有和其他女人订婚（这改的太毁三观了），左拉到结局都没有写到过kiss啊，人家是纯爱。
然后原著中最经典的桥段（自认为的）为什么不拍啊，女二为了羞辱denise让她到自己家帮她修改衣服，故意让穆雷看到她卑躬屈膝，穆雷受不了先让denise离开，这个完全可以拍出来的吗。原著很好看的，推荐去看原著啊。
当然BBC还是拍的很精致的，新增加的桥段也有很多亮点。当做一个新故事来看吧，不要多和原著比较，除了大方向很多地方都不一样了。不过新出来的sam好讨人喜欢啊（星星眼）。
另外，carla（是这么拼吗，那个女售货员）是fingersmith里的sue吗？总觉得好眼熟。

2 ) 逃避是人类永恒的主题，面对只是万绿丛中一点红
Katherine 的老爸很清楚自己女儿的脆弱，但和中国普天之下的父母一样，看不得孩子半点的痛苦，在自己的女儿之中放下更大的诱惑。

Peter，富二代中的优质男，有着真实的自我，看到K的真实自我，点燃K发自内心的快乐。
Moray，穷二代中的逆袭帅主，对前妻专情至深，不是爱得那么深沉，只是在妻子在世时并没有好好爱惜所带来的无法弥补的内疚与自责。有人利用这份痛苦来扮演救世主的角色，有人利用这份痛苦进行敲诈勒索。用自己的男性魅力来操控别人，野心勃勃，有自己的原则。
Denise，有创意有活力的乡村女孩，爱思考，有自己的想法，勇敢、真挚、敏锐，可总是固执地想和嫉妒自己的人做朋友。

3 ) 英国古代版的sex and the city
刚刚看完第一季的最后一集，到底婚礼有没有举行呢，要等下一年了。真是吊足了胃口。唐顿庄园上周刚演完，paradise也结束了，哎，下周看啥呢。
刚刚看前两集的时候，很惊艳，美丽的灰姑娘，比唐顿庄园要奢华鲜艳很多的服饰，很英式古典的对话，韩剧大饭店一般的商业剧情。看到中间，总觉得有点不及我的期望了，男主的情人太多，感情太捉摸不定了，内容拖沓。不过最后几集又开始吸引我了。
女主年轻漂亮小女仆状，女二多金一脸皱纹，女主管典型英国气质英国腔调。男主开始我特讨厌他的胡子，不过后来越来越觉得他挺有男人味的，我是女人也会爱上他了。
记得bbc哪里的评论说，paradise是英国古代版的sex and the city，时髦的衣服，开放的男女关系。这些元素已经值得一看了。

4 ) 看完第一集
煮马感觉这个片子可以当英国百货商店发展史来看？！看完以后，脑袋里跳过之前看过的好多纪录片和新闻片段：讲高级成衣定制的纪录片《Haute Couture》, 美国某小区小商店联盟抗议沃尔玛进驻小区的新闻，甚至还蹦出了讨论社会阶级流动性和教育现状的纪录片《Who gets the best jobs?》，额，然后，我这点杂乱无章的感想就成了不入流的现象分析咩……
1. 大型百货商店出现，挤占了私人店铺的大部分市场，与后者相比，前者贩卖的货物价格便宜，虽服装都是成衣，而非高级定制，但能第一时间把法国的时尚带到英国（仿佛现如今的H&M,Zara,等等把T台的设计第一时间普及到全世界一样），而且，不止贵妇人，连屠夫的夫人都能在第一时间买到。虽然这让上层的女士们颇为不爽，因为中产阶级的妇女们这下可以打扮得和她们一样了，但正如Moray先生说的，女士们，等到大家都来我店里买衣服时，你们迟早有一点会坐不住的。
猜测那时的社会经济应该不错，百姓的购买力应该比较强，可能满足巨大购买力的出口却相当有限，所以Moray先生敢冒着抵押店铺的风险，举行大型促销，招揽顾客，同时以本伤人，本来就摇摇欲坠的私人小铺，这下就更惨了。
2. 再说说Denise。往后退几年，看她的故事应该蛮励志的吧，现在来看，不外乎是一个勤奋有想法的姑娘，在社会阶级流动性很强的时候，获得了个人失业的发展和爱情。这姑娘运气好，生在了好时候。

5 ) 只是发散性地评价一下
一开始是被女主吸引住看下去的
后来是被华丽丽的服装和背景吸引了看下去~
其实本人希望看到女主脱离男主后独立闯荡的结局，成为竞争对手或者朋友什么的不是更好么 倾向于更商业一点 为啥最后还是要在一起呢 而且还是就这么 突然一下的在一起了 女主应该到最后送他一程的。。。（好吧 这只是我的想象）
配角也都好有特色 女主的上司和女主的Uncle Pauline和Sam 断臂老头 如果可以多点戏份什么的就好了 而且至今也还没看到男主的前夫人 到底是长啥样的。。。
oh dear 好吧 就算剧情一般般 但是因为这些可爱的英式服装小器皿什么的 我就好喜欢 那个帽子 那个帽子后面的丝带 那个蓬蓬的长裙啊。。。。 还有束腰显得身材好好呀 可惜要是我在那个年代估计活不下去了。。。

6 ) 被埋没的精致英剧
The paradise 中文译名：彼岸是天堂/女人天堂，然后我在豆瓣上又发现这个“天堂一刻”这个翻译。2012年，BBC ONE开播第一季，2013年开播了第二季。但是BBC已经证实不会有第三季了，因为得腾出位置给新的电视剧。个人还觉得蛮可惜的
故事背景是在1875年的英国，剧情围绕这个The Paradise的英国第一家百货超市展开。John Moray是The paradise的经理人，充满野心和抱负，但是也有柔情的一面，他与可以给他提供经济帮助的银行家的女儿Katherine订婚；Denise Lovett是从苏格兰农村来的女孩，希望能够帮助叔叔维持生计，但是她发现the paradise势不可挡发展，于是去the paradise工作。
John Moray和Denise Lovett一见面便擦出火花。Denise Lovett是渴望经济独立的女人，在19世纪由男性主导的社会，她的精神和抱负很难能可贵。她为The paradise提供了许多新的点子以招揽顾客，而John Moray也被她深深地吸引。俩人之间的情感日渐加深，可是种种挑战和困难也横隔在他们中间。
The paradise单从剧情还是服装造型，我觉得都不输Downton Abbey。可是Downton Abbey已经出至第五季了，但The paradise两季之后就没有了，也有其原因的。
一是演员阵容，很明显The paradise差了一大截，看看海报就知道。这导致在剧情上，The paradise长期会单薄一些，不像Downton Abbey可以给观众回味和吐槽的地方。
二是主题，The paradise最初给我的感觉是Denise Lovett如何在男性世界中占据一席的主题，可是拍着拍着，这个主题感觉若即若离，有那么点像，又有那么点不像，导致我很难判定它。这到底是不爱情剧，还是女性励志剧？模糊的概念也会导致观众的迷茫。长寿命的电视剧，比如：Game of Thrones，我可以说：妖魔鬼怪打打杀杀争王位；Friends,，我可以说：三男三女喜怒哀乐，携手共成长；Gossip girl我可以说：帅男靓女，XXOO，华服美景，纸醉金迷......
三是，宣传上也有关系啦
但是这部剧我还是很喜欢的，可是它在我心里挖了个坑，却没填满，不开心.....
（以下来自wikipedia)
Series 1 begins in 1875, and portrays the lives and loves of the people who work, shop and trade, in and around the first English department store.[8] The owner of The Paradise department store is widower John Moray. Moray was once a draper's boy in Emersons, the small shop that grew under his managership into The Paradise, which has come to dominate the high street to the detriment of small shopkeepers nearby.
Into this world comes Denise Lovett, from the small town of Peebles in Scotland, whose uncle Edmund is one of the shopkeepers struggling to survive. Denise takes a job at The Paradise and is soon seen by Moray as a rising star, to the annoyance of Miss Audrey, the head of ladies' fashion, and of Clara, a fellow shopgirl. Moray is financially dependent on Lord Glendenning, whose daughter Katherine is determined to marry Moray and sees Denise as a direct threat to her ambitions.
Series 2
Lord Glendenning has died and Katherine Glendenning has inherited The Paradise. She now has a husband, Tom Weston, and a young stepdaughter, Flora. Katherine asks Moray, who has been exiled to Paris, to return to revive the fortunes of The Paradise, and save it from being sold. Weston is determined to control his wife and The Paradise, overruling Moray to his own advantage. Moray's position at the Bon Marche is a reference to Octave Mouret's derision and constant competition with the same.

每到阴雨连绵冷风四起的秋季，英国电视台一波一波的古装剧便是恰如好处的伯爵红茶。男一男二女一女二都不错，喜欢女二的衣服和她家里的华丽，最喜欢的，就是THE PARADISE，真是美轮美奂。
看着看着觉得混乱又无趣。还是看看妇女乐园那本书好了，不必再继续追剧了~~~~7集弃
唉唉唉，，，唉？
每到阴雨连绵冷风四起的秋季，英国电视台一波一波的古装剧便是恰如好处的伯爵红茶。
世上豪杰万千匹，总有一款总裁适合你！此剧集商战、总裁、麻雀变凤凰于一身！且看左拉原著如何在晋江肆虐的现代以总裁文形式披荆斩棘，为古典腹黑型总裁赢得一片天地！
Morey 哪里帅？？？
服装华丽丽闪瞎眼，剧情不求。其实细看来也没有很棒（至少不如PE精良），但还是颇让人心动啊
左拉的原著是非常出色的经济学著作，而不是爱情小说。Matthew McNulty似乎更适合演Moray吧。Elaine Cassidy被毁成什么样子了，又老又专横，不过中间有几集很有爱也很深情算是有点小可爱。Denise的差劲弟弟直接没有了，然后叔叔居然跟Miss Audrey有一腿这个改编好奇特。
就因为有EC，而且还是BBC~~~好看赖看也必须看啊~~~
john算是穿衣有型脱衣更帅。反而对女主denise 无感 总之 不太喜欢看古装剧 却剑走偏锋 在中国看美剧到美国看英剧。大晕蛋
为了Matthew McNulty才看的，其他的真没多大意思！
实在对大胡子男主无感 爱情来得莫名其妙
比想象中好看，虽然“麻雀变凤凰”还是老梗。女主角属于耐看型，多看几眼就觉得还不错了。（话说每次看英剧，都会觉得，你看看人家拍的古装戏，要画面有画面，要剧情有剧情，要对白有对白，咱们的怎么就各种吐槽无力咧。。唉。。）
我觉得我找到新type了。可惜的一点是编剧可以把冲突拉的再长一点吊吊胃口，不用十分钟就全解决掉的。
如果女主角不是恋爱脑，只搞事业就好了。
前几集还挺好看的 后半程好难看
果然是晋江上那些总裁文的鼻祖啊，不过等我发现是法国小说改编，就明白为啥有些地方觉得不对劲不太像腐国古装剧了，但是含蓄精致，细腻优雅的风格一如既往是哔哔西最擅长的。古典剧我就是百看不厌，回去啃小说吧。
BBC终于看着ITV眼红了，这部迷你古装剧简直就是在拷贝《唐顿庄园》，一个天堂百货上上下下社会名流小店员，勾心斗角一网打尽。这剧的缺点是角色的命运太容易预测，勾心斗角的火药味不够呛人，倒是爽心悦目的华丽包装和各色主角很适合打发时间，《三人行》的两位好基友竟然都在这里。★★★☆
没有BBC其他的古装剧好，不过我还是挺喜欢的。不喜欢男主角的个性，不喜欢女二的选角，觉得男二被弱化了。然后，我讨厌BBC学美剧搞什么第一季第二季!!真麻烦。
我算是硬着头皮看完，这二流改编
