Mr Selfridge Season 4 Customer Reviews
By Harold Wolf on March 3, 2016
Mr Selfridge was the rival in 2013 to The Paradise which began a year earlier. IN 2013 they went head-to-head and Mr Selfridge won, and now continues for its 4th season. Every season of both series’ is excellent and worth the purchase. Own, don’t rent, as this is worth multiple viewings, that good. They deal with the same real story of the man who made the big department store an item of history.
Harry Selfridge continues to be played by Jeremy PIven, flawlessly. He has department store office help in Crabb (Ron Cook) and Grove (Tom Goodman-Hill). Others who have been with this show from the start and continue are Miss Mardle (Amanda Abbington), Frank (Samuel West) Victor (Trystan Gravelle), George (Calum Callaghan), Kitty (Amy Beth Hayes), well the list continues.
New 2016 episodes, aired beginning in January, with the story’s beginning in 1928. Lady Mae (Katherine Kelley- all 10 episodes after being gone for 2015) returns to London, and of course Harry gets himself into financial difficulty again with hasty promotional decisions. Grove celebrates his 20 years with Selfridge’s.
Family dynamics and relationship are played up in episode two and a highlight, or low-light, of the third is an affair of a significant person.
As can be expected, in the typical Selfridge fashion, the store has its ups and downs with more sub-plots and relationship issues than the store has departments. Outsiders get involved, as does Harry, not his first unwise fling. It’s more and more of the same old fantastic storylines and believable acting. So many returning characters it is like a family reunion.
TEN new episodes; but fans will crave more, just what Harry Selfridge depends upon.
I bought and saved and have watched and re-watched every season. Go ahead and pick up “The Paradise” on DVD and you’ll see a parallel story, and learn just how GREAT “Mr Selfridge” had to be to beat out the competition in 2013.
Mr Selfridge is a Masterpiece modern classic, worth more than five stars at our house.
