Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Well done...A good serie : good casting, good plot and good playing. BBC knows how to make rich and intelligent serie, in only 6 episodes. Got some reserve concerning certain interactions between the characters, but it serves the drama well. Only one question left : will there be a second season? Rating:  - Riveting and SurprisingThis mini-series was like a book you did not want to put down. You start wondering why it takes 6 hours to tell a story. At the end you are breathless. It is like a satisfying meal which leaves you full, but wondering when you can return. My wife and I like to discuss what we have seen as we go through each episode to ensure that we did not miss anything, epecially with movies that contain Britspeak (I am English and have no problem with it, my Canadian wife sometime finds it difficult - pause on a DVD player is a great invention.)

Unless you know Brit-speak, use the sub-titles. Repeat viewings are compulsory. Watch this six-part BBC series first, before the Hollywood remake debuts next year and ruins everything. |
