The Minaturist

Well worth watching. Agree with Morgana; the TV version made the story much more understandable than the book, which I didn't particularly enjoy. Also, the heaving bosoms!

I did enjoy it, but haven't got a clue what was going on .

Thought it was really good. Read the book twice and still loved the TV version, although I'm not sure we really needed the heaving bosoms! I seem to remember that the book left you not quite knowing what had really happened, whereas the TV version seemed to tie up the loose ends. Very nice to see the BBC doing such a good job. AND I could hear all the words!

I didn't like the book at all and have been in two minds as to whether I'd watch or not. I might have a go on catch-up if the general consensus is favourable.

Beautifully produced - a visual feast!
As Whitewave has said, like a Vermeer.

I wasn't impressed with the book and liked this even less. Little Women was a thousand times better!

Thanks Wilma will give it a whirl!

This is the only thing I have watched over the last two days (nothing else on worth watching for me) and hadn't heard of it before. At first I thought it was going to be boring but soon got into it and the first part went quite quickly (good sign) and I'm looking forward to watching second part.

Visually wonderful so I kept watching although there seemed little action or even conversation for a long time.
It then got going with intriguing mysteries and shocking action. We’re eagerly anticipating tonight’s finale - and I think I should read the book!

It's not that kind of creepy chelsea. You should be OK on your own.

I hear it's creepy - is this in a supernatural sense? I don't like that sort of thing when I'm on my own in the dark!

I loved the book and this production is, I think, very true to the book and the actors are so good in the roles.
Looking forward to this evenings episode.

I loved this, I thought it was so different, with beautiful costumes and an unusal tale, looking forward to this evenings episode.

I've jusy watched the recording of this. I didn't know what to expect either as I haven't read it. I must say not what I expected but I enjoyed it. Will watch part 2.

Well, I started to watch it with the best of intentions but for some strange reason I fell asleep less than 20 mins in . I've now just watched it on catch up whilst not too tired (read into that what you may) and really enjoyed it. Haven't read the book... did slightly wonder if the novel was bit overtly PC ... black slave , gay man, but nevertheless looking forward to this evenings episode if I'm not tòo tired.

Must be something wrong with my tv , I gave up trying to see it through the mood lighting

My sister has read the book, and recommended it to me as she was looking forward to seeing how they dramatised it. I watched it and was enthralled. It's quite creepy, but intriguing. I am also looking forward to tonight's conclusion. DGS is here for the night. I hope he goes to bed early enough for me to watch it, otherwise I'll have to watch it on catch up.

Loved it, not only story, acting etc, but the sets, lighting and cinematography, looking forward to tonight's finale.

I wasn't sure what to expect because I haven't read the book, but I can't wait to see how it ends. Just can't see a happy ending for Nella. The whole thing is beautifully done - and definitely intriguing.

So agree. Wonderful acting all round. Superb art direction and costumes. True to the book in every way. Looking forward to tonight.
