Poldark S3 Was A Huge Disappointment For Me and It All Boils Down To One Root Cause.
I had originally begun a draft of this post that devolved into everything that I cannot stand about how the show chose to move the character of Demelza into a different direction. That part of the post got really, really, really, really long.
Instead of sharing that really, really, really, really long post, I decided to write a new one. Itâs also Sunday and the final episode of season 3 hasnât aired yet as I begin this, but I need to write because for the past 10 weeks, Iâve been doing homework on Sunday mornings. I have no homework to type up because the summer term is finished. I find myself at a loss, so I began this post.
But I digress. Youâll find that Iâm really good at that.
This is a really, really, really, really long post about the one reason why Season 3 was a disappointment to me. Iâve been able to distill my disappointment down to one root cause.
If you listen to the @poldarkpodcastâ, you know that I regularly submit my opinions on the episodes that just aired. You probably also know that Iâm not fond of the direction in which they took Demelza this season.
Actually ânot fondâ is putting it mildly.
I HATE what they did to her character. I hate, hate, hate it! The Powers That Be decided that Demelza wasnât âstrongâ enough or âfeistyâ enough in the novels, so they had to make her more modern to appeal to modern audiences.
However, in doing so, they basically took a shit all over Winston Grahamâs work and a character that was based on his own wife. Theyâve taken the product of someone who is a very gifted storyteller and dumbed it down so much, I start to feel stabby. Â
