Negative Positive
Title: Great adaptation, if somewhat sanitized
Review: I heartily recommend this series to anyone who finds the period even slightly interesting. The acting and production values are absolutely top-notch. However, as watching this series made me read the books (it was that good!), I have to warn some lovers of the novels that a lot has been changed. But that said, I still feel that the series is true to the spirit of the books, and many of the changes have been made by combining several occurences in the book into larger, more significant events in the video. I think that the medium of TV demands this for dramatic and time-saving purposes, and like I said, it is mostly true in spirit to the books.
Is the review positive or negative?
