Title: Beautiful costumes and sets but...
Product review: I agree with so many of the other reviewers, the Amanda Root version was sublime. I have seen it several times, including at the movie theatre, and that version was so rich and deep and satisfyingly romantic. In this current version though, I did like Sally Hawkins a lot. I found her to be a wonderful actress with beautiful eyes and expressions. It was not her fault her part was written so poorly and wimpily. Several reviewers have mentioned the kiss between the leads, I have to agree! It was not good, and shot at a bad camera angle.Also the sound was horrid, people were talking in those big drafty English parlors and rooms, and the echos were so strong it sounded as though they just had put little microphones on the floor.I did enjoy the show, but I have to say I kept constantly comparing to the 1995 SO much better version.And I hate that Masterpiece Theatre changed it's name to just Masterpiece. How stupid is that!
