Ah, so I watched the BBC's Wives and Daughters(1999) yesterday and I liked it. It was different, but I loved the main character, Molly.
I really liked how Justine Waddell played Molly, was very real. I had minor problems, like how EVERYONE fell for Cynthia, and yes while Keeley Hawes is beautiful, I thought Justine/Molly was very beautiful as well, it was weird to see how people just overlooked her.
Same with the Hamley brothers. Roger was definitely more attractive to me than Osborne. Physically, as while I adored Roger, he lost a little of his luster when he fell for Cynthia so fast. And I so adored the friendship Molly and Roger developed and how he was so earnest in his affection for her, even if he felt she was like a sister.
Although it did feel tedious at places, I sort of welcomed the slow pace. But, when I think about it now, it could have been spread over the 4 episodes better.
And the ending felt odd. While I think I've been spoiled recently, there was practically NO physical affection shown between Molly and Roger and it was just so fucking odd. It would have been lovely just to have an embrace, but not even that. The proposal scene I could understand, but the party shown after that, and then they're ALONE in Africa, still, nothing. That was weird to me.
I really liked Osborne, he was so heartbreaking. He loved his father so much and obviously adored his wife so much. That was well done. Except as much as my heart went to his father, I twitched when that bastard talked about seperately Osborne's wife from their child. I...don't think he went though with that though, I forget.
I...don't know why I'm babbling about this when I'm not sure any of you have watched this!
I'm not sure if any of you would be interested in watching it, although cah215, I should tell you since you loved North and South that this was based on the novel by Elizabeth Gaskell who wrote the novel that N&S is based on :D
I'm currently looking for another to watch. *shrugs* I'm in the mood. I keep watching the news all the time now and it's a lovely way to unwind.
