Pagford is a seemingly idyllic English village with a cobbled market square and ancient abbey. Behind the pretty facade, however, is a town at war: rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils. Pagford is not what it first seems.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Good submitted by VanCancue on August 3, 2018, 5:52pm This is a very good adaptation of the book. Very good acting. A story of society and it's politics , and the struggle between the unfortunate and well adapted. The story ends on a good note and justice almost seems to be served except for a terrible end for one unfortunate hard working soul.
