In season 2 of North and South, America is in the midst of civil war. The Hazards and the Mains are on opposite sides and the friendship between Orry and George is stretched to the limits as they both battle for what they believe in. Brett Main has married Billy Hazard but the young couple are torn apart by the fighting. Ashton Main, as spoiled and selfish as ever, spends her time trying to ruin the relationships of others, and having an affair with Elkanah Bent (her brother Orry's greatest enemy). Virgilia, George's abolitionist sister, crosses the line from fervour into an obsession that will forever ruin her.
The story shifts between the issues of war and the relationships affected by it and manages to maintain a good balance between the two. Many famous faces feature in this mini series, such as Elizabeth Taylor, Lloyd Bridges, Olivia de Havilland, Kirstie Alley and Robert Mitchum to name but a few.
Absorbing and entertaining, well worth a look.

An epic production set in mid 1800's America. The story is about two families, the Mains and the Hazards. Orry Main and George Hazard become lifelong friends after meeting at Westpoint military academy. The only problem is, Orry is from a wealthy southern family that own a plantation and numerous slaves whilst George is from a rich northern family to whom slavery is an abhorrence. Over the years friendships and relationships build between the families but war is brewing between the North and South. Where will this leave the friends when they have to fight on opposite sides of a bloody and protracted war.
This 'made for TV' production is as entertaining now as it was when it first aired in the 80's. Although there are no extra's on the DVD (apart from subtitles), the story itself makes it a worthwhile purchace. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed North & South as much today as I did back when it was first shown on TV back in the 80s. A lot of effort and planning went into this epic saga and if you're not bothered by long-term watching (after all it's 12x 1.5h episodes I believe) then you're in for a treat.
There is also a third season which features the events of the 3rd book (Heaven & Hell). It was filmed a little later than one and two but when will this be released on DVD??!

North and South
This is not one for me although I have to say a very young Patrick Swayze does put in a hell of a performance along with Kirstee Alley.

This was great. It was a blast from the past as I remember watching it on the TV when I was wee and I really enjoyed seeing it again. Thanks for the quick delivery as always.

A great introduction to this fine mini series
A taste of the old south. It reminded me of Root's. It gave you a taster of what was to follow in book 2.
