The first half was great. It was slow paced introducing great characters which little by little had their secrets and mysteries unravelled. However come the end it felt rushed. Some of the most interesting characters disappeared in the last 2 episodes, and it felt like the Star wars episode 3 where they left themselves too many loose ends to tie up in too little time. Whether this is how the book reads I cannot say, but this is not as good as Bleak house was. The Debtor's prison looks far too homely a place. That said it's still a pleasure to look at and the first 8 episodes are all excellent. The endings however don't satisfy the patience needed in the build up.
