![]() ![]() Those viewers who had been lured in by Aidan Turner’s shirtless scything and the sexy love triangle between Ross Poldark, his hot sister-in-law Elizabeth, and his wife Demelza (an equally hot ex-scullery maid with common sense but few social graces) were suddenly faced with the failure of Ross’s business ventures, the death of his infant daughter from diphtheria, his arrest for plundering a shipwreck to help feed his starving miners (also: murder), and the triumph of his loathsome antagonists - the very New Money Warleggan family, who give excellent villain face. ![]() At the end of season one of Poldark - the tale of an 18th-century Cornish gentleman who returns from the American War of Independence with a fake-looking facial scar and a serious chip on his shoulder - pretty much everything had gone thoroughly to shit.
