The first episode of Dickensian is like a lot of other Dickens adaptations. It looks wonderful but you have to keep your wits about you.
There are a lot of characters from Dickens world who will be crossing each other's paths.
Marley sends a little boy off to deliver a note to Scrooge for example. You wonder why this was never done before to such an extent.
Writer Tony Jordan has created a ready made soap opera and it leads to a murder investigation, that of Marley.
It was evocative but you can feel lost if you are not familiar with Dickens main books.
