Parade's End
On HBO Europe, BBC Two
A stately, melancholic period romance set against the collapse of the Edwardian world, where personal desire and social obligation collide in a loveless marriage shadowed by war.
The story of a love triangle between a conservative English aristocrat, his mean socialite wife and a young suffragette in the midst of World War I and a Europe on the brink of profound change.
