Indian Summer (UK Channel4 Drama)

[Ciggavelli]

I just got through watching Indian Summers Season 1, and am about to start Season 2 (the last episode airs Sunday). This is some really good historical British TV. I highly recommend it. 8/10 for the first season (we'll see how the second season is tomorrow [after I finish the Undercover finale {which is like a 9/10 show BTW]})

Set against the sweeping grandeur of the Himalayas and tea plantations of Northern India, the drama tells the rich and explosive story of the decline of the British Empire and the birth of modern India, from both sides of the experience. But at the heart of the story lie the implications and ramifications of the tangled web of passions, rivalries and clashes that define the lives of those brought together in this summer which will change everything. It's the summer of 1932. India dreams of Independence, but the British are clinging to power. In the foothills of the Himalayas stands Simla; a little England where every summer the British power-brokers of this nation are posted to govern during the summer months.

The UK really knows how to make a great period piece

BTW, this was made in the UK, but it shows how terrible the British were. I was surprised to see that.

This shyt is so good. The British were such a$$holes (no shyt....I know). The show is so interesting from a historical perspective. Great acting, great scenery, great story. Y'all should definitely watch this if you like period pieces, good drama, or history. shyt is
