The Pillars of the Earth: The Pillars of the Earth is set against a backdrop of war, religious strife and power struggles which tears lives and families apart. In that time, there rises a magnificent Cathedral in Kingsbridge. Against the backdrop, love-stories entwine: Tom, the master builder, Aliena, the noblewoman, the sadistic Lord William, Philip, the prior of Kingsbridge, Jack, the artist in stone work and Ellen, the woman from the forest who casts a curse. At once, this is a sensuous and enduring love story and an epic that shines with the fierce spirit of a passionate age. Follett masterfully weaves these stories through political turmoil of 12th century England, creating a relevant and viable world for today's audience and for generations to come.

Amazing series!! I haven't read the book, but I intend to do so after watching this. Such an incredible story, really interesting characters, great acting and beautiful scenery and costumes. Everything is so well put, I think it is one of the best series out there, I would recommend it to anyone! I hope there will be a 2nd season!! 10/10

If you enjoyed The Pillars of the Earth, you'll enjoy the second book World without End. It's not a mini-series yet, but hopefully will soon be. The third book will be out sometime in 2014, don't know the title yet, but it's a Kingsbridge book... can't wait!! :)

Incredible series! They did an excellent job turning Ken Follett's book into film. If you enjoyed the book you will definitely enjoy the series, and if you haven't read it, I highly recommend you do as well as the sequel: World Without End.

Exellence is a word that springs to mind after watching this show. Great scenery, intriguing characters, exellent camera work and a captivating story. A true "must see" if there ever was one. 5/5 well earned stars!
