Went into this with high expectations but left feeling indifferent.

As good as Cynthia Erivos performance is it wasn't enough to pull this film together.

Characters plot weak and story rushed. Whole thing was stretched far too thin- needed a good 45 minutes chopped off it.

Songs dull and immemorial- Dare I say a bit boring.

There were elements I enjoyed and liked the spin of how Tin man, Cowardly lion and Scarecrow were re-invented.

Hated the ending but I liked Cynthia's character and wanted vindication for her so was disappointed. I felt a lot of the characters were unnecessary additions .Overview ( Just Ok) I actually checked my phone several times during the showing to see how long was left. Such a shame as it had great potential.

A detailed adaption of Dumas wonderful book.

Edmund is beautifully portrayed by Sam Claflin.

Stunning scenery, costumes and cinematography.

It's a real feast for the eyes. I devoured this 8 part adaption in two days. I loved the 2002 film version of the book and didn't think I would enjoy this being a series. I was very wrong.

It goes into more depth and detail and explores areas of the novel the film would not of had running time for.

Grab a bottle of wine , draw the curtains and revel in this sumptious series. One of the best if not the best revenge tale ever told.
