I am a huge fan of the 1983 mini series with Richard Chamberlain. He absolutely was John Blackthorrne. This FX series cannot begin to compare. It is tedious to watch. I am just an hour in and am giving up. If I want to read that much, I will read the book. This version seems to augment violence for violence's sake. Catholic bashing too which never sits well. They seemed to make a strong point of that early on. Volume is incredibly low, many scenes seen overly dark. Not as sumptuous as the original. I had this set as a series recording and deleted it after an hour in. It is rare that I ever like a remake. I think the only one that comes to mind was the A-Team movie. I spent most of the hour I watched not being able to truly concentrate because I had to read so much. I normally do not mind subtitles but this was painful. No thanks. I will now go buy the original.
