Is there a better writer than Charles Dickens? His stories are very intricate and involve many characters, mainly "good" and "bad" and somehow they are all iintertwined. Britain has a brilliant array of excellent character actors and each Dickens character, even the smallest part, is portrayed wonderfully. Watching the DVD was an absolute joy.

I thought the first few episodes were boring then it got better ergo was more into it. A good bit of the plot was very predictable but the acting was good for the most part. Rather scatty review but parts were good, parts bad, some boring, some engaging so review is mixed.

I've read the book and I can't say enough about how great this adaptation is. The casting is so spot on and the acting is exceptional. Anybody who spends a lot of time watching BBC adaptations will recognize many of the actors. Special props to Phil Davis as Smallweed - that man is one of my very favorite character actors, EVER. Everyone does a superb job. Well worth the money and great for binge-watching - don't be afraid of the 9 hour run time. I laugh, I cry, it never gets old.

It was outstanding in every way. It kept me coming back week after week. The acting was superb and the plot came to life before your very eyes. You cried and laughed, got angry with the lawyer. It was like you were there with them, right in the middle of it all. My husbands best part was when the old man that was carried around told his granddaughter to shake him up. It made you see, even back then that money was so worth dying. What a lie, that young man had everything. A wife that loved him and a child on the way and he thought he was doing the right thing by going after the money. It also showed that people can be happy with nothing. I was a grand story.
Bleak House is a slow moving, character building mini series. Give it time to build the complex story and it just keeps getting more intriguing. I love several of the actors that star in it.
