The Pursuit of Love preview
Set in Europe between WWI and WWII, The Pursuit of Love chronicles the colourful exploits of free-spirited Linda and her best friend and cousin, Fanny. Both are consumed by the idea of finding love. Once they break free from the confines of the countryside, they set out to explore the world as much as they can and hopefully stumble upon the ideal mate.
However, as Fanny eventually settles into the role of "good wife", Linda's outrageous ways will push her to flaunt society rules as she's determined to make her own destiny. Will their friendship stand the test of time as Europe is torn apart by social and political divisions?
Touching upon important themes like freedom, love and womanhood, The Pursuit of Love is sumptuous and highly entertaining. The 2 leads are the stuff of dreams, with Lily James playing the charismatic Linda and Emily Beecham portraying her quieter cousin Fanny. Additional cast includes Dominic West, Dolly Wells, Andrew Scott, Beattie Edmondson, Assaad Bouab, Shazad Latif, Freddie Fox and Emily Mortimer.
The series premiered earlier this year in the UK to positive reviews and currently has an 80% score on Rotten Tomatoes. If you're in the mood for a witty period dramedy with a modern feel and memorable performances, we highly recommend giving this a go.
