2. Doesn't look like a good adaptation. |
|
:shrug: But, you could do so much worse than watch something like this.

4. Really? I haven't seen any previews yet. |
|
If it sucks, I'll tune out. The literary adaptations of late have not been up to par, in my opinion.

5. I saw a preview, but I wasn't that impressed. |

It's difficult to say why I didn't like the preview. I don't think the actors were exactly right, but the one thing you can say about Masterpiece Theater is that they TRY and actually respect the material.

6. The actors just aren't right, I agree. |
