Well, no one watched it here, either, and the British reviews were just as strong, so I don't think the appreciation levels were all that different. I get that you dislike the book and the series, but "the usual cosplay types" is just silly.

Samuel West did such a good job of keeping me sympathetic towards Lord Poole, when he could have so easily been a one-dimensional asshole.

For the moment, the smut is basically contained to Childermass/Norrell.

This show really, really stuck the landing. If I had an A+ to throw around, I'd get swept away, too.

I wish that I knew more ordinary people that look like Strange and Childermass.
