    GREAT…artistic license should prevail.
    my spotted past with reading dickens’ works was a slow and laborious process.
    this updated meshing of his stories is brilliant!

    Please bring the series back! As a result of the pandemic, we need quality shows that we can stream/watch from home. This is a superb production, which I just discovered. One season only whets the appetite.
