  Middlemarch
  
  A rather good version of Middlemarch. The book is a tough read, so this acts as a good companion. Performances are effective, and plot remains faithful.

  This is well worth a second look (or a first look if you missed the broadcast). Good strong performances do justice to the general plot line of the book ... read more »

  Disc 2 bit of a disappointment
  
  I enjoyed watching this disc, and it certainly captivated me enough to watch all three episodes at one sitting.
  
  It follows three main stories.

  I thought I would try this again - I remember the first TV showing as being somewhat dry and greatly disliking the character of the female lead.

  Not for me!
  
  I usually enjoy period drama but I just couldn't get into this one. I found it slow, bland and uninteresting.

  Boring
  
  Boring!! i did not like the story line. Based around a boring town and a doctor. I found myself skipping parts of it. Did not like the characters either.
