About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darker, more modern-leaning take on a classic, with gothic tension and moral messiness; Not for you if you want a faithful Dickens adaptation or lighter humor, like Bart Got a Room.
Pros: captivating, thought-provoking mood; strong acting; lush period look | Cons: strays far from source; very bleak tone; pacing can drag
