This is a bold, vibrant and well-woven take on burton's novel, and it succeeds in transcending much of the eeriness and atmosphere of the novel onto the screen. i loved the visuals and the portrayal of 1600s bustling, crowded city ruled by religion and money was downright exquisite. the scene of guild feast was particularly well-done.
it does alter the ambiguous ending of the novel slightly, making it more satisfying for tv audiences. i've no trouble recommending this 2-episode series: it is striking, memorable, and delivers some excellent performances, as well as lovely visuals. a delight to savour.
