Oh dear, well so far this show hasn't got very good reviews, and I don't understand why because all in all I thought it was very enjoyable. Much of the plot was missed out, but this is understandable because it is a very long book which had to be squeezed into a 2 hour slot. In the book, we can see Henry Crawford's love for Fanny building up over quite a while, but for those viewers who have never read the book, it comes as a surprise and happens too quickly and for that reason doesn't quite work. Also I think that Mrs Norris doesn't seem quite odious enough.
However there are many positive things to say about the adaption. I think Edmund Bertram is quite to perfection; just how I imagined him. Billy Piper did a very commendable performance - and we see her grow throughout.
Overall I would say it is well worth a watch, genuinely!
