Customer Reviews

A pleasant surprise !
I'm a long time fan of Horatio Hornblower books, and when I've read about TV film based on Forester's novels I was worry that TV production cannot bring Hornblower times to life... I cannot be mistaken more. Quality of production is superb, acting is very good. Some Forester's fans may don't like some changes in story, but I've found them acceptable. As for DVD - image quality is medicore, sometimes there are visible artifacts, but the sound is good (or very good). If you feel exitement when you see frigate under full sails it's a must buy for you !

Awesome series
Horatio Hornblower is a thrilling and adventurous series. I saw it on A&E and then bought it because it was so good.

Daring Adventure and Drama
Some friends loaned us their DVDs of Horatio, and we were hooked. These episodes are full of adventure and drama. Best if watched in sequence--lays the foundation. The acting is excellent in my opinion, but there are a few gorey scenes that might be too much if you tend to be very strict with what your children watch. In the later episodes there are very slight sensual comments, etc., but most children would miss it. Overall, it's clean and good watching.
