MGM+’s Dickens Adaptation Falls Flat Despite Star Power
The four-part series, airing on MGM+ and BBC One, adapts Charles Dickens’ classic but fails to generate excitement as a romance, thriller, or period piece. Critics note that the love triangle between Kit Harington, François Civil, and Mirren Mack lacks any real passion, and the production design makes both cities look interchangeable. The review concludes that this version is one of the least Dickensian adaptations in recent memory, offering little to distinguish itself from prior attempts.
