The first time I watched this version, I was mesmerized and a little nauseous- Scrooge clearly had gone to a very very dark place compared to other versions. I mean, he's pretty despicable- even worse than the George C Scott version. The whole series is extremely dark and depressing and definitely not for children! But there's a glimmer of honesty in Scrooge and with that...... I dare not give spoilers but in my honest opinion, this series should be seen. It's way grittier than Dickens but I think he would have approved (after being depressed).
Guy Pierce gives a wonderful Scrooge performance as does everyone but I was most impressed by characters who had no lines. Even without words, they told a wonderful story in other ways.
