This was a nice mini-series, not as good as the film and nowhere near as good as the book, but it was well made and well acted.
However, and it is a big however, they should have made it more sarcastic and humorous, if they intended to make a more serious version, it worked, but not in a good way. But the main fault was the ending, I was thinking when the 6th episode ended that there must be a second series coming, but as they had covered 80% of the story in the 6 episodes, I wondered how they were going to make another series of the 20% story remaining, I know they did not stick faithfully to the book, but that was not the ending! But it turns out THAT WAS the ending !!!, so that made it a big let down, the producers really need to get it back in the studio and finish it, perhaps with a special long episode, if not it has failed.
I gave it a 6 out of 10 for the acting and photography, it was visually beautiful.
