Partway through my watching of Season 3, I started to feel as if the show was dragging a little bit. The storylines seemed to be losing a bit of the heart that made it so special. This Season 4 opener was dramatic and suspenseful and renewed my love for the show. Personally, Tristan Sturrock's performance as Zacky Martin broke my heart. His pain as a father who not only lost his child but also witnessed his death in such a tragic way was portrayed so authentically. I also love the addition of Josh Whitehouse as Lieutenant Hugh Armitage. I do not condone cheating or stepping out of one's marriage at all; however, after everything Demelza has endured with Ross and Elizabeth and Ross's frequent neglect and attitude, it is refreshing to see her be desired and appreciated.

Season 4 is not as interesting as previous seasons. The same subplots have been meandering for years. This season features meetings between bank shareholders followed by the plots of bank depositors. These episodes are easy to skip.
The editing is laughable too; scenes transition with three seconds of galloping horse hooves (no idea who is on the horse) then a group scene. Okay, who was on the horse?
I don't know if the writing is getting worse or has always been lacking.
