This could and should have been great. So many adaptations miss out a lot of the story and this series included lots of events in the novel which are not normally shown, which was great to see. The cast were well chosen, the acting was generally very good, as were the sets, the pacing and the score.
However it was ruined by changing the story to have Valjean fire Fantine whereas the book is quite clear that he knew nothing of it. I know that a film or tv adaption will change certain things and am ok with that, but this is totally against Valjean's character at this point in the story and spoils the whole series.
