Anyone watching The Count Of Monte Cristo on PBS Passport? [View all]

I have Passport and that allows me to watch the Masterpiece presentation The Count Of Monte Cristo

that won't be released until March 22nd. It has been terrific so far. (We've watched 2 episodes.)

I am thoroughly enjoying this adaptation. I'd forgotten what a good storyteller Alexandre Dumas was!

I also find the this story very timely for our time with the themes of justice and righting wrongs with honor.

Jeremy Irons gives a performance as the Abbe that was fantastic. I have downloaded the book to reread it.

I would be interested to hear what others think of this adaptation.
