Reviews

saiken-30341 This should be a lot more loved than it seems to be. If you like fantasy stories you will find this to be a very ambitious and well executed. Top shelf acting, sets and ideas. Bravo! Probably not going to be as appealing to some of the Harry Potter fan base because it's a bit more cerebral. Although, I like Harry Potter too. If you like Neil Gaiman's stories you will probably like this.

inkslayer While the Napoleonic wars are raging, one powerful British magician has many reasons why he won't help another powerful British magician as he uses his magic on the battlefields and at home. Thoroughly enjoyable grownup fantasy based on Susanna Clarke's award-winning novel with several subplots that keeps the viewer interested, guessing, and entertained.If you love unusual stories having to do with magic, love period pieces, love magical special effects, noises that make you jump, and actors who take their craft seriously, then you'll keep your remote on play until you've watched all 406 minutes.

buggie-05210 I was repeatedly blown away by the acting, especially Eddie Marsan, who played Mr. Morrell. The casting could not be improved upon. The sets, scenery, and costumes never ceased to impress me. The color palate was beautiful. I found multiple levels of intrigue and mystery in the story line for the viewer to puzzle through. I think the characters to be full bodied and complex, further providing an avenue for the viewers to discover and explore. Like a mystery, I think a second viewing of this show may reveal clues missed on the first viewing. The level of enjoyment I had of this series prompted me to sign up for IMDb so I could leave a review. Normally a mystery/detective fan, I was thoroughly entertained watching this fantasy series. This show is currently in my top ten.

Charles Herold (cherold) I read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell about a year ago, which helped a lot in terms of following the story. My girlfriend, who read the book many years ago, found it more confusing.The book is terrific, wonderfully combining history and fiction, and the author had a wonderful ear for writing of the time. The movie generally tells the story well, but it can be episodic and at times truncates elements in a way that makes them seem almost extraneous. The actors are quite good, particularly Marc Warren as "The Gentleman" and Ariyon Bakare as Stephen Black. While it's all pretty good, the series never quite grabbed me as the book had. There is something a little murky about it all, both in the lighting and in the story. I would have liked it more if it had shown the meticulousness you get in series like Downton Abbey, but the series never quite felt like history and I wish it had.I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it.
