Parades end is an adaption of the tetralogy by Ford Madox Ford. It follows the love triangle between the old-fashioned Christopher Tiejens, His vindictive wife Sylvia and a young suffragette called Valentine Wannop during world war one, with Europe on the brink of change. As war comes upon them, Christopher enrolls in the army to help his country, he soon must decide who he wants to spend the remainder of his life with his wife, whose son may or may not be his from her numerous affairs, or Valentine, who would do nothing to hurt him.
Benedict gives an outstanding performance as Christopher, you completely forget about him as Sherlock as you see him take on a brand new character. You really feel for him, as he loves his son so much but has doubts whether he's his or not. You feel yourself routing for him to leave Sylvia but he won't as he is too much of a gentlemen to leave his wife penniless in the street.
Rebecca Hall plays his wife, Sylvia. She has a number of affairs which she brings up to annoy Christopher,She also goes out with other men in order to get a reaction from him but he never reply's. Hall does a brilliant job as a character you just love to hate. You will find yourself yelling at the screen at her.
Adelaide Clemens also brings her game as Valentine Wannop, the feisty, free spirited suffragette. She plays the character beautifully as she has a hidden love for someone she can't have, which many of us can relate to. You so want her to get together with Christopher, you will literally pull your hair out with the antagonizing waiting game.
This is another example of Original British Drama a it's best. It's beautifully shoot, written and performed. Parades End will make you believe in true love and how ever impossible, it will find a way.
