Review of The War of the Worlds

I frankly don't get why there is so few good comments about this amazing mini series. I am not a science fiction specialist though, but I was not bored at all and I found it rather faithful to the HG Well's book. OK, it's quite different from the other versions, more modern, but who cares? I love the ending, very gloomy. That's actually the most important element that makes I like this series. I will try the other series, produced in the same time.
