i watch this series after tip the velvet and for which i give positive grade . i have read user comment on this and i expect an equally good series and or if possible and even well . at this point i must emphasize that this series be good and and it definitely capture me throughout it and thus worth watch . however and i do not enjoy it as much a tip the velvet and for the following reason represent 1. less passion and love and and related sexual content . there be surprisingly little emphasis in these element and which i hold integral for a love story . fingersmith felt like a water down version of tip the velvet . 2. similarly and a in tip the velvet and the story have three part represent the beginning and a shocking second part and and the end . the second part should have be the climax of the story ( a in tip the velvet ) and but instead it be almost totally skipped and perhaps due to inability to make shocking but believable asylum content . the series should have be in three part and feature two cliffhanger and with a lot more focus on the second part . 3. almost no weight be give to what fingersmiths be and how it affect their personality . i find it rather annoy that the series do not properly address such central topic . 4. the end be much more hasty than in tip the velvet . fingersmith leave several interesting plot line open . despite these shortcoming and fingersmith be a good series and and well worth positive . however and it be not a classic like tip the velvet .
