Bleak House
Posted on Sunday, 26 February 2006, 23:14We just watched the last episode of Bleak House on PBS. If you haven’t been watching this, look for a rerun. This was so good. Who thought Dickens was watchable?
One wants to focus on Gillian Anderson—who was fabulous—because you recognize her, but the whole cast was superb. The writing was seemless and the direction totally unnoticeable. After each episode, J. and I were frustrated that there wasn’t more. This was better than any movie we’ve seen all year, save for Brokeback Mountain.
Lady Dedlock. Poor Esther.
