Rachel B 11/19/2024 I've never read the book nor seen any other adaptation, but I love this genre, so I watched. I loved it! For me, a married Hayley Atwell became #wifegoals. No man is perfect. No woman is perfect. No society is perfect. But this miniseries was pretty close. See more Dan S 10/06/2023 It was okay! I do not know why they had to change the character of Mr Bast's wife! Most people feel that way. Howards End in 1992 changed so much for me to love period films. I saw the 1992 version so many times I then read the book. It was fun and so well done. This updated version I was so disappointed. Not the same. Emma Thompson Helena Bonham Carter Anthony Hopkins Vanessa Redgrave Sam West Jemma Redgrave Nicola Duffet too (they updated her character in this was so unbelievable! Nicola was more realistic and fits into the story correctly!) They were the best cast. See the 1992 version not this ridiculous one! See more Stace D 03/23/2023 I liked the conversations and closeness of the Schlegels. I hated that they had to be politically correct yet again by putting Africans in where EM Forrester never did. Jackie, the black girlfriend of Bast, is ridiculous! that would never have been in england at that time, and Forrester never wrote it. I give it only 2 stars because the director progressivized it and changed the original novel with something that is not historically accurate.

Feels like a bunch of teenagers putting on a play in someone's basement, trying to pretend to be "grown-ups living long ago" but lacking all understanding of the times, social class in Britain, the actual characters, etc. As usual--in the 2020s--the sets, scenery, cinematography, and costumes are fantastic and expensive but all substance is missing. When I heard it was coming I could not have imagined not watching Howard's End, but it's a tedious waste of time. See more Elizabeth R 01/31/2021 I enjoyed the series more than the Hopkins/Thompson movie. The characters were well developed and I ended the series with a strong opinion about each of them.
