I thought this was an entertaining adaptation of Dickens' Great Expectations. (I enjoyed it more than the earlier one with Ioan Gruffudd) If you like costume dramas of the BBC variety, it's a must. As a bonus, the male actors are simply gorgeous. Douglas Booth is well on his way to stardom, and Harry Lloyd is adorable and charismatic and I look forward to seeing more of him in the future. The female actress (I don't know her name) seemed a bit out of place, which might be my only gripe. She looked a bit older than Booth, which I'm sure she is. Gillian Anderson was a great and entertaining Miss Haversham, even if she was a bit young for the role. She was a bit over-the-top but that's what made it so enjoyable.
