Dashing Ioan Gruffud stars as dashing Horatio Hornblower, unparalleled British naval hero, in two more delightful episodes from the A&E series. In Loyalty, a peace with France has left Hornblower decommissioned and short on funds. Only the help of his landlady's daughter Maria (heartbreaking Julie Sawalha, Absolutely Fabulous) keeps him from being kicked out into the street. Fortunately for our hero, Napoleon's armies are afoot, and Hornblower soon finds himself sailing to France in command of the Hotspur, grappling with Irish traitors and French skullduggery. Duty picks up where Loyalty leaves off; Hornblower marries Maria with some ambivalence, but the day after his wedding sails for the coast of France to find a missing ship. After rescuing a supposedly Swiss man and his American wife in a storm, Hornblower finds himself caught between an old foe in France and diplomats in England. Though the derring-do is sometimes melodramatic, Horatio Hornblower swiftly becomes engrossing and suspenseful. Credit is due to smart scripts, efficient direction, Gruffud's heroically curly hair, and a superb supporting cast, including Robert Lindsay and Paul McGann (Withnail and I). --Bret Fetzer

Although these episodes are a bit old, we didn't have them in our collection. This series of stories are awesome! Even for the women to enjoy! Ioan Gruffudd is HOT!

This is a great series! Wonderful characters delightfully portrayed. I enjoyed the first parts even more as the main characters were developing. The last 4 episodes cover less ground(water!) Highly recommended.

This last installment of the Hornblower saga is incredible. It was great to watch, but made us sad knowing this was the last in the series. If they should ever consider continuing the Hornblower series, we will definitely look for it! Ioan Gruffudd is awesome as Hornblower, and the other actors were equally outstanding!
