Title: Not perfect, but...
Product review: I have to start this review by saying that Charles Dickens isn't my favorite author, so I already knew to expect this series to be a bit bleak and gray, but after I while, I found it slightly tedious to watch. The acting is done well(except for Estella...) especially the sadly underused David Suchet. Douglas Booth does a nice if slightly one-dimensional Pip, but is overall likeable, and let's admit it, not too bad on the eye:) I know Gillian Anderson's casting was somewhat debated because she is still quite young, but I felt she played the role well. I know Estella is not supposed to be the most likeable or lively person, but I found her extremely bland and there was zero chemistry between her and Pip, which made this intense love he apparently felt for her hard to believe. He had more chemistry with Miss Havisham! But overall, it was entertaining and I would recommend it to fans of the film adaptations of Bleak House or Little Dorrit.
