I stuck with it til the end. It was truly awful. The acting was wooden and deviated so far from the book to be almost unrecognisable.
In the film Flowers in the Attic (the original) the actress playing Olivia was perfect (she was also brilliant as Nurse Ratched). This potrayal of Olivia was just wrong. I also noticed that Malcolm said Foxworth Hall didn't have electricity yet there were table lamps that were obviously electric ones. Max Irons' accent was dreadful and kept slipping. It has been a few years since I last read the book but I don't remember the Nella/Celia plotline, was that added just to throw some diversity into the series?
