Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
评分过低了😢，再加一星吧
看到达叔进来，回头又看了大圣和月光，缘起紫霞还OK，整体弱了

删减应该非常多，达叔遗作。算是真的懂得了大话西游的内核
主要是想看来达哥，剧情是我能看得下去，但是，为什么男女主要这么磕碜？？毕竟你是拍紫霞仙子和至尊宝啊？？！！估计是俩带资进组的，浪费了这个有点新意的编剧。
最后至尊宝拔出剑开心地走的时候突然莫名的心酸。
看了，因为经典在前，加上配乐多少能打动人，女主可以，期待以后作品，整体勉强及格
两人感情铺垫不够，看花絮好像还有穿婚服的场景被删了
没有那么恶俗的恶搞，有那么一点点诚意在里边，有那么一丝丝情意在里边，有那么一瞬间感动了我自己。
个人感觉还不错的呀
确实还行，起码可以三星。冲着达叔加一颗星。紫霞很可爱，各种致敬细节。起码有一些地方确实感动到我了。五星！
怎一个尬字了得！除了达叔，就女主角的颜比较亮眼…请不要再消费《大话西游》了好吗？
算是比较有诚意的一部大话西游系列的改编了，剧本确实不错，就是节奏有些快，可以一看。
三星给诚意和剧情，一星给达叔，一星给我觉得分有点低拉拉分…
女主有紫霞的感觉，总体拍的很好了，比预料好太多。分低了。希望有未阉割版
这个紫霞可以的，给人很舒服可爱的感觉，男主演技也不错，还是达叔的遗作，鼓励一下。
编剧故事其实已经很不错，有点当年大话西游的影子，无厘头的部分大大不如当年，女主加分男主减分太多，配乐也差点意思还是老曲能引发共鸣，特效也肉眼可见的贫穷，尽管这么多显而易见的缺陷，还是觉得给5分，翻了翻短评，除了最开始看都不看就评分的，最新的评论大都是四星五星。毕竟大家看的是一个还不错的故事，悲剧内核喜剧形式。女主火起来。
作为一部网剧的确还不错。女主竟然是天水妹子也是惊呆了。这部大概是达叔最后一部？
至尊宝:“姑娘，我们好像在哪里见过“。紫霞:“我们还会再见的“。大话西游yyds
讲实话，总体看来就是“穷”字，但是也能看到诚意。达叔最后一部电影是噱头，但是没有过度炒作，感觉多几千万预算会是很好看的电影，多给一星支持！
