What a joy to watch. Everything about this is first class from the minute it starts to the end. Beautifully filmed with a lot of scenes utterly breathtaking. Such a emotional and complex story. I have the book but haven't read it yet. I was debating whether to read it and then watch the series. I chose to watch the series first. The casting is superb. I hope to see Frank Dillane in more productions as he is brilliant in this. As are the rest of the cast. Claire Danes and Tom Hiddleston are great together. This is a gentle paced story set in the late 1800's. It mentions a few historical facts like an earthquake in Colchester that I didn't know about. I absolutely loved it and look forward to reading the book.
