'Mrs. Wilson'
(Ruth Wilson, Keeley Hawes, Iain Glen, Fiona Shaw, Anupam Kher, et al / DVD / NC-17 / 2019 / Masterpiece PBS)

Overview: A grieving widow discovers that her seemingly ideal husband lived many secret lives.

DVD Verdict: Ruth Wilson does an incredible job here portraying her own grandmother.

The love, betrayal, loyalty, sadness and hope that Alison Wilson felt was clearly evident throughout.

A story so bizarre and shocking it had to be true. The acting was nuanced showing the conflicted emotions, just how would someone react to discovering they had been the third victim of a serial bigamist.

The script was tight and well structured and tried desperately to arrive at a moral standpoint.

The problem, per say, with this drama lies with its ultimate truths, there were three women who had been lied to for decades, there were no less that six illegitimate children who were inadequately provided for, and three tawdry affairs undertaken without a care for the devastation this would leave when the truth came out.

That said, it is, without a shadow of a doubt, a wondrous story of intrigue, love, deceit and ultimately continuation of life despite it all.

I loved every minute and the fabulous ending demonstrated that good can come from lies - with all the family meeting, of course.

He may have been a serial bigamist but without him, and come the end like it (him) or not, none of these people would exist today. This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs.
