This is one of the greatest of revenge tales. Even Lew Wallace borrowed from "The Count of Monte Cristo" when he wrote "Ben-Hur" around 40 years after "Monte Cristo" was first published.
A few reviewers on here take issue with how this veers off from the book and don't give it a high rating for that reason. Every adaptation of "Monte Cristo" veers off from the book. That has to happen because the multi-faceted revenge story is complex and wasn't meant to be watched, just read. This veers off in ways that enhance the theme of this story.
This series is a great watch. We couldn't stop. We wanted to know what he was going to do next. And because there was so much irony, many scenes were surprisingly funny as Dantes' victims fell into his web.
Sam Claflin was detached, pained, clever, single-minded and charismatic, credibly portraying everything that Dantes needed to be to pull off his revenge.

For those old enough to have witnessed the Alan Bardel 1964 version, glued to their flickering TV screens, transfixed by the gothic horror and grime, this one was going to be a hard act to follow. To film this, in a modern age, with all the demands of hi-res, colour and costumes was a very brave attempt, and for that I genuinely applaud the effort......... however, it could have been done a WHOLE LOT better, which probably suggests that even with all the EU tax breaks (and other backhanders) there simply were not enough Euros in the chest to really give justice to the Dumas classic. The UK actor Sam Claflin, as Edmond Dantes had screen presence, but arguably not enough ruggedness to really carry the role, in comparison with a persona of Jeremy Iron's gravitas (cellmate Abbe Faria). One big gripe was about the buried treasure. The chests, after having lain for 300 years would have been infested with guano, cobwebs and bat feces, if not totally decimated by Time, but looked like something recently bought on E-bay. Bad move, my continuity guys! Despite all - I'm watching to the end, and I will do my hardest to enjoy it!
By far the best adaptation of Monte C and closest to the book. Compared to French version this one is superior. Almost 90% is true to the book, the rest is light modifications, some good, some not very smart...
Lacks the intensity of the stories in the book. Maybe one or two more episodes would give time develop all characters correctly!
Everything was covered, a lot of details, good cinematography, but a lot is left unsaid... Few characters were merged, and used poorly, but I gave it a high rating, because other adaptations did not even try to follow the book.
Solid adaptation of a great book!

In a landscape filled with adaptations that often only capture a shadow of their source material, "The Count of Monte Cristo" miniseries arrives as a resounding triumph-a television event that not only honors but elevates its origins. This isn't just another version of Alexandre Dumas's story; it is, without a doubt, the definitive adaptation for our generation and one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of watching. A flawless masterpiece that deserves every second of your attention and the highest possible rating.
At the heart of this magnificent production lies the performance of a lifetime from Sam Claflin, who delivers an unforgettable Edmond Dantès/Count of Monte Cristo. His portrayal is, without exaggeration, hypnotic and masterful. We watch with bated breath as he transitions from the naive young sailor, his eyes brimming with hope, to the cold, calculating, and relentless Count, whose pain and thirst for revenge burn behind a facade of charisma and absolute control. The camera masterfully captures every micro-expression, revealing the layers of a man remade by tragedy and knowledge.
The brilliantly crafted screenplay achieves the rare feat of being extremely faithful to the soul of the book. The eight-episode miniseries format was the perfect choice, allowing the complex plot to unfold with the necessary pace and depth. Essential characters like Maximilien Morrel, Valentine de Villefort, and even the bandit Luigi Vampa-so often cut from other versions-are given their due prominence here, enriching the narrative and showing a profound respect for Dumas's work. The few changes made only serve to enhance the story's cohesion, making it even more believable and impactful on screen.
Visually, the series is a cinematic spectacle. Every scene is a painting, with stunning cinematography, authentic costumes, and spectacular locations that transport us directly to 19th-century France. From the desolation of the Château d'If to the opulence of Parisian salons, every detail is meticulously crafted, creating an immersive experience and a true feast for the eyes. The original score perfectly complements the atmosphere, intensifying every moment of tension and drama.
The supporting cast is equally brilliant. Jeremy Irons delivers a wise and captivating Abbé Faria, and his chemistry with Claflin makes their time in prison one of the series' high points. The villains are magnificently portrayed, with a palpable evil that makes the Count's revenge all the more satisfying. Characters like Jacopo and the series' version of Caderousse bring humor and humanity, balancing the story's tone.
"The Count of Monte Cristo" is television at its finest. It is a series that captivates from the first second to the last-an epic journey of betrayal, redemption, and one of the most well-orchestrated vengeances in literature. In the end, the feeling is not just one of satisfaction, but of gratitude for the creation of such a powerful and respectful adaptation. For fans of the book and newcomers alike, this is a must-watch experience and the perfect justification for a 10/10 rating. Simply marvelous.

I can honestly say, that I didn't miss a second of this fantastic version of the classic tale. The cast, the direction, the locations... all of it is perfect. Nothing less. I binged it all through christmas day and now I don't know what to watch next! It's that kind of adaptation. It's that good. It's worth a second watch, and thats what I will do. Watch it again :-) If you have the chance to stream it where you live, make yourself a good cup of coffe, sit back and enjoy the story of revenge, greed, ambitions, love, hate and all that lies in between. I really recommend that you do, and remember to enjoy the caracter of Dantes/ the Count. He is so brilliantly portraied as a man with complete control of his face and his emotions.
