South Riding - Season 1 (2011)

In the long aftermath of the First World War, 30-year-old Sarah Burton leaves London and comes home to take up the headmistress-ship of a struggling Yorkshire high school for girls. But the homecoming is complicated and before long her ambitions are in conflict with her feelings for the man least likely to have won her heart - Robert Carne, the handsome, haunted gentleman farmer she clashes with.
