Title: A fitting tribute to the brilliant work of H.G. Wells
Product review: Lovely period miniseries inspired by the science fiction of H.G. Wells. Never gets too ambitious, uses authentic British actors and period details, and perfectly blends human drama and romance with intelligent scifi adventure stories. Six stories in three parts, totaling 4 1/2 hours. If you like the old Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes or British period miniseries, this one's a gem. I ordered this one all the way to Mumbai, India and watched it the same night. What a treat. If you're expecting jazzy visual effects (like the big-screen adaptations of Wells' War of the Worlds and The Time Machine) then look elsewhere. This is about the human drama, that era in British history, and the wonders of early science fiction storytelling. I wish they made more in this series!
