I’ve just finished episode 2 and am wondering when the show is supposed to get *bad.* It seems many critics’ possess expectations far exceeding my urchin mind from understanding. This is the most gripping show I’ve seen in awhile.

Many people calling it a dull **** in many aspects it's true but can't just ignore Oscar winner Colman's outstanding performance And cinematography & production design.

Olivia Colman's terrific performance will ride u in a different world & yess she deserves an Emmy nomination For this The stunning visuals & set pieces are really captivating.

****' characters can be depressed and even deplorable, but not as depraved as portrayed in this reenvisioning. The embellishments ruin the series. I'm out at episode 2.

Not very good at all, though I'm a **** for a period piece, and the production values are off the charts, this is nothing but a downer, full of dread, but i'm going to keep watching it nonetheless

I wrote a term paper on Great Expectations in school and while it has been a while, I’m still fairly familiar with the story and themes. I had doubts when I saw the trailer, but I thought I'd give the show a try in case it was better than I expected. It was worse. We are suffering through the dark ages of entertainment. Not only do modern entertainment writers lack the ability to create anything original, they also lack the competence to copy stories from their betters. Somehow the writing for this show is atrocious, the acting is weak, the setting looks fake, and the plot is boring. This show is worthless.
