Not your grandmother's Great Expectations. Certainly not Dickens' Great Expectations. The "F" bombs alone set it apart. Far far apart. Other reviewers mention the lack of Dickens' use of language. Ain't that the truth!!
I thought there were only 3 episodes so decided to watch it all. It certainly has excellent costumes and sets. Miss Haversham's bedroom alone is worth it. My question is: How on earth can anyone dust it all?
Once Jagger appeared, it took a turn for the better. He is so brilliantly evil!! The first shot of him is beautiful - enjoy it! It only gets better, as does he.
In fact, he's the only reason I'll watch this non-Dickens Great Expectations. That and to get another glimpse of Miss H's bedroom.
If you want to watch a true masterpiece - watch the 1942 movie, "Great Expectations". THAT's Dickens and cinema's best.
