Title: not my cup of tea
Review: I found the title in an early 2010 review by Joe Morgenstern of the WSJ. Like many of the commenters here, he gave it a rave review. By mistake I originally started the new Mel Gibson version. After I gave up on Mel, on the strength of the reviews, I started the BBC disks. I persevered through the first 3 of the 6 episodes. I won't watch the rest, especially after reading comments that the 2nd 3 episodes are less compelling that the first 3.With some exceptions, its boring, like watching paint dry. I do like Brit productions, generally across the spectrum, but this one is a slow mess. It's not worth the 3+ hours.
Is the review positive or negative?
