Title: Horrible Disappointment
Product review: Having read and adored Armistead Maupin's 'Tales of the City' novels, I was delightfully surprised with the FIRST television adaptation ('Tales of the City'.) I was, however, horribly disappointed with this second series. The first series was beautifully cast, the 'chemistry' between the characters a chief concern. Certain characters have been RE-cast in this second series, and none of them are - to my mind - as 'right' as the original cast (furthermore, it was somewhat disconcerting to see the character of 'Mona' wearing the same WIG in each series, but crowning a different FACE!) My real problem with 'More Tales of the City' is its pace; the first series (like the first books) is very fast paced - this series is a real plodder. It's worth renting out of interest, but I wouldn't buy it. (Sorry, Amazon.com! I'll make up for any lost sales by STRONGLY recommending the FIRST series be bought, watched, RE-watched and enjoyed many times over!)
