Good call.

Parade's End is very very good, as you would expect from a BBC period drama. Cumberbatch is brilliant in this, but then again, I think he is brilliant in everything he does. But even if you don't have a mancrush on Benedict, it is an excellent story of a man torn between duty and love, with the added benefit of BBC production values.

Some nudity.

Great War? Suffragettes? Nudity?

I'm in. :)

I'll break open the story and tell you what is there. Then, like the others that have fallen out onto the sand, I will finish with it, and the wind will take it away.

Oh, also some sexual acts, nothing too graphic though.

Some of us are women ;)
I like Cumberbatch, I think he's a pretty versatile actor and I love the time period. Thanks for bringing it up!
