Watch HOMELAND’s Damian Lewis in THE FORSYTE SAGA

By  | 

Before Homeland, before Life, before Band of Brothers, I first encountered Damian Lewis in the British miniseries The Forsyte Saga. Acorn TV has just launched the first online streaming service dedicated to British television, including The Forsyte Saga, Part 2.

The second miniseries telling the story of the Forsytes stars Lewis as patriarch of the family that’s changing fast as the Roaring ’20s impact them all. The Forsyte Saga is the Masterpiece Theatre adaptation of [easyazon-link asin=”B002RKT69M”]John Galsworthy’s classic tale[/easyazon-link] of a rich and powerful English family rocked by sexual jealousies, infidelities, and the turbulent transition to the modern age. Damian Lewis stars as Soames Forsyte, with Gina McKee, Rupert Graves, and Ioan Gruffudd. Emma Griffiths Malin and Lee Williams join the cast in Series 2 as the young lovers, Fleur and Jon.

Acorn TV offers British TV online for $24.99/year with an increasing library of offerings from their outstanding collection of British DVDs.
