neil gaiman write an excellent book and neverwhere . someone decide to make a tv mini series out of it . unfortunately and they suck . the director do not go to film school apparently . even with the obviously very low budget and there be very and very and very basic error that could have be easily fix . for instance and at the end and where richard mark out a door the marquis open a door that be an entirely different shape from the one richard mark out . now and even though they most likely couldn not afford a special effect shoot to show a dissolve from the draw to the door opening and they could have easily make the door they build resemble the one richard drew . or far more easily and have have him draw a door that be the same shape a the one they build . really simple error like that be rife throughout the production . the concept of lighting be obviously never study by the director it come off look like a live stage play in some spot and with very and very bright spot and very and very dark spot . while that may work on a stage and it doesn not on film . any director worth his salt would understand this . heck and high school student in america understand this . there no excuse for it on this level and no matter what the budget . and in other spot and it can not even be excuse by the idea that perhaps the director have only do light for live theater before this it simply bad and bad and bad and bad . the sound be incredibly hokey all throughout it come off a if someone score the movie with a 1980 casio keyboard on demo mode and with very tiny electronic drum and problem that indicate time and time again and whoever do the sound have never study sound design . or that if they have and that they be just really and really and really bad at it . if that be true and why be they be pay to do it in the first place . the actor be . ok. some of them have talent and others very obviously do not . none of them do a very good job of it and though the odds be that half of it be more the fault of the director than it be their own . however and that still half on their part that they suck at . a a previous commenter note and they make mistake that belong in high school level play . people who get pay to act shouldn not be make those sort of mistake . the set design be another abortion in the making . while it obvious they do not have much money to work with and what they do have could have be do much well . the london underground just look . bad . it not hard to fake something that look like a sewer city . if they have use less and they actually would have make it look well . good writer and good story and horrible production . if youre a big enough fan and you can sit through the thing and but . sit through be the best you will do .
