The Count of Monte Cristo

I was hooked from the very first episode. The Jim Caviezel movie was extremely well done, but this series exceeds that masterpiece. With more time, you are able to weave more layers into this tale that requires it. The acting is almost all top shelf with a couple performances that are mediocre. The series has a solid pace and builds until episode 6. I found Episodes 7 and 8 drawn out and less than engaging. Sure, you get the ending you expect, but the magic was gone. A couple reveals in this series were far superior to the movie and a few were fer less impressive.

I 100% recommend you see this but also caution you that despite landing safely, they didn't stick it in my opinion.
