These TV series are poorly made. I do not mean the technical side, with respect to age of the series and TV format it could be considered satisfiable.
I mean, actors' playing is bad almost for all of them. Sometimes the plot lines are vague and characters are unbelievable.
May be, one of the strong sides is that acting doesn't always look like theatrical performance. We get some interesting views and interiors.
I am not a good reader, so I've considered to watch this version. And I've got nothing. I couldn't assemble the plot, I can't understand the clerical point of view, I do not believe in acting. Just a few personal features and authors statements are well pronounced.
I wouldn't keep this historical TV production in my archive.
