    Magnificent!

    This series is outstanding in every respect. Certainly, one of the best adaptations of Dumas' book that I have seen in my 61 years. The fact that it's an 8-part miniseries gives the production time to properly flesh out the characters and various plot strands.

    Sam Claflin leads a top-notch cast (special mention for Michele Riondino, as Jacopo, and Blake Ritson, who is wonderfully evil in everything!), and the script is excellent.

    Some wonderful locations and beautiful cinematography, along with excellent original music, by Volker. Bertelmann) complete what is an epic production.

    I only hope it goes on to be seen by a wide audience, as it truly deserves to be seen!

    Amazing version of an epic tale

    I have seen less than 50 percent of Bille August work and never liked any of his movies, actually most of it made me wanna puke and think he is totally overrated. Mediocre movies that I feel are so poorly made but this one is just amazing.

    Maybe it is because this Story is just so amazing, that his talent finally come to show. But this is the best version of the The count of Monte Christo I have ever seen.

    Great acting, great flow in the story, cinematic experience was superb felt like a historical experience and the audio was amazing.

    Our family, old and young, was glued to the screen for two days.

    The only minus was the pretentious birth name of his daughter who had a minor role in the movie which she did, ok. So we withdraw the tenth star.

    True Adaptation

    I'm extremely happy with how this series was made. Not only have they found a way to make it realistic, but they've also found a way to make the story so precise that it could have easily happened in reality. One of the few adaptations I can say is wonderful. The cast and locations are breathtaking in their authenticity.

    I appreciate the fact that they changed the story just enough to make it more feasible, as compared to random. The issue with the original was always there were too many things that had to align just right for it to work. That's not the case with this series, they made it very believable.

    !0/10 well done, truly fantastic work.

    A Definitive Masterpiece: The Adaptation the Legend of Monte Cristo Deserved

    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.

    Solid Adaptation

    I've been a fan of The Count of Monte Cristo since reading the book years ago, but I've struggled to find an adaptation that truly worked for me.

    The films are too short to do the story justice, and while the popular 1998 French-Italian miniseries had its charm, it feels a bit dated now and takes some liberties with the plot.

    I was actually anticipating the new 2024 French film adaptation when this English TV series appeared out of nowhere (though it is still a French-Italian production).

    This series is the best adaptation I've seen so far. After watching it, I can confidently say I'm less excited about the film (although three hours long, it probably still not long enough to include all story elements).

    It's been a long time since I read the book and I don't remember every detail, but the series seems faithful to the story and the eight episodes give the plot room to develop. It simplifies some secondary character and story arcs, but overall, it covers much of the novel.

    My only critique is that the middle episodes did get a bit convoluted, and I sometimes struggled to keep track of the three families. (To be fair, I'm terrible with names, which didn't help.)

    Regardless, I highly recommend this series, whether or not you're a fan of the book. My wife, who hasn't read it, loved the series just as much-and even asked to keep watching, which is rare for her.

    • Trivia
      In the book the Count of Montecristo made occasional use of a hashish paste. While this is never explicitly stated in the series, several times the Count can be seen eating the content of a small vial.
    • Goofs
      Action inside the prison takes place from 1815, but Edmond and Faria use metric. Napoleon abandoned the system in 1812 (after extensive public protest), and it wasn't brought back until 1840.
