This soapy but highly watchable television "sequel" to Gone with the Wind, the most popular Hollywood movie ever made, has nothing to do with memories of a vanished antebellum South. But it does end up in Ireland, where the determined Scarlett O'Hara Butler (played with frosty passion by Joanne Whalley-Kilmer) turns hard times into an opportunity by buying the ancestral home of her family. Before that happens, however, Scarlett fights to win back the estranged Rhett Butler (manfully portrayed by Timothy Dalton), often seen in the company of other women, struggles for control over the homestead Tara, and gets caught in yet another compromising position with poor Ashley Wilkes (Stephen Collins). The troubles never stop (Scarlett's Ireland adventures land her in a heap of trouble from which only Rhett can save her), but this TV miniseries wisely keeps the focus on these captivating characters, their entangled histories, and the collective destiny that refuses to part them. The show also looks good: the location scenes in Ireland are particularly handsome, and there is something unaccountably satisfying about seeing Scarlett and Rhett walking through peaceful green hills. Enjoy. — Tom Keogh

- Scarlett, the book
- Great book. Written in sense of "Gone with the Wind." Good character development. Really saw the growth of Scarlet, from self-centered child to caring young woman. Always had the feeling, unlike the film, that it was Scarlet and Rhett. Set in Irish history background.… More reviews

- Good but could have been GREAT with some changes.
- I tried to watch Scarlett without comparing it to GWTW, as many previous reviewers had suggested, but that is easier said than done. The story and characters are so intertwined, you can't help but think how they got to where they are in the current situation. That being said, Scarlett impresses me as a movie that had a lot of work, planning, and thought… More reviews

- I have been waiting for Hallmark to replay SCARLETT because I love this movie along with GONE WITH WIND. It is a great sequel to GONE WITH WIND. There is even a happy ending that goes along with it.
