Visually Stunning

This is beyond a doubt one of the most beautiful things I've ever watched. I can't get over the saturation of colors, the use of light, the beauty of nature portrayed. Unreal. It's almost like Terrence Malick had something to do with it it's that gorgeous.

Here's the ultimate seal of approval. I love Richard Armitage beyond words, and I would watch this even if he didn't play Claude Monet.

The cure for anything is salt water--sweat, tears, or the sea.

Hi Platinum! Fancy seeing you here. I've finally watched this series and have to agree with you. It is visually stunning (as was RA ).

Dogs have owners, Cats have staff!

Hi Laura! I'm so glad you liked it! It really is one of my favorite things RA has done.

Hi Everyone, This is a beautiful series that can be enjoyed time and time again, I know I will visit it often. Bonus to see the wonderful Richard Armitage as the young Monet.

This is the most beautifully filmed television production I can recall seeing. The cinematographer deserved an Emmy. I also loved the graceful way the scenes went from the artist working on the art to a shot of the actual artwork and identified by name. I love this film.
