Bleak House

"Bleak House" is, without a doubt, my favorite production of a Dicken's novel. It does credit to the writing and art of this mini-series that, although some of the main characters aren't incredibly attractive, you get drawn in to the plot and become emotionally invested in each character. The plot had its usual twists and turns and kept you on your toes enough to become completely involved.
The casting in the series was terrific and completely believable. You should recognize Lady Dedlock from “X-files”, the Nemo from “Sliding Doors”, and you might recognize John Jarndice as a pilot from the original “Star Wars”. It’s productions like this that make me really want an English accent and frolic around in my misery with the rest of the aristocracy and pseudo-aristocracy.
This series is not for the faint of heart, however, and can only be recommended if you are willing to sit through 8 hours at one time. I was unable to stop watching and couldn’t wait for the next installment as it was shown on PBS.
