If you like this sort of thing (and I do), you should love this. The English countryside is glorious, the costumes are wonderful, and the view of society is far more realistic (gritty...and bawdy) than you'll find in the A&E adaptations of Jane Austen's works. Nothing against Jane Austen, mind you.
The cast is superb, particularly Samantha Morton. If you are like me, when you come to the end you'll find yourself wanting more.
It's been my experience that one can't go wrong with an A&E/BBC co-production, and this version of Tom Jones certainly lives up to that rule.
