DVD Review: Dickensian

Dickensian
[DVD Dickensian]

For anyone who loves the stories and characters created by Charles Dickens, you will love this creative television series that takes some of Dickens’ most beloved characters and brings them all together in a story filled with plot twists and unexpected events each episode. The story begins with the death of Miss Havisham’s wealthy father and brings together such unlikely neighbors as Jacob Marley, Miss Havisham, Bob Cratchit and Mr. Bumble. The cast is excellent, but I was especially impressed with the performances made by actors Stephen Rea as Inspector Bucket, Anton Lesser as Fagan and John Heffernan as Jaggers. If you love Dickens and enjoy a good mystery, you will want to check out this series.
