Pip at 17 operates like a seasoned homicide detective? Doesn’t ring true. Too many unlikely plot twists. Unreliable. Worst thing: dogs should never be killed in film.

I read the excellent book & saw the movie 3 times. This series doesn’t come close. Only 4 people were well cast. Expected more from a Kelly Abram’s production. A waste of 8 hours of my time.

I love Gleason in this but can’t for the life of me imagine why they would cast Andrea R who is ugly as sin. So I don’t get why Jack would be attracted to an ugly, narcissistic & troubled woman who isn’t even kind. It just doesn’t work for me. The supposed chemistry & passion just does not come across on the screen.

Outstanding performances by both Depp & Whitaker. A multi-themed movie that covers topics that are still relevant: racism, corruption, cover ups and the costs of speaking out against fellow cops. A must see. Well paced, well acted, well directed.

What a disappointment. Expected more from a movie with this calibre of actors but the sheer number of plot twists ruined it. The surprise ending made absolutely no sense. Don’t waste your time. The only good thing about it was the music.

Not even a B movie. Sad. Milano can’t act. Only good I can say is Sam Page’s new look works for him. Don’t waste your time.

Bored to sobs. Didn’t get past 40 minutes. Music was incredibly irritating. Stewart got the accent right I’ll give her that. Had great expectations but was very disappointed.

If you’re a Jane Austen fan & prefer authentic period detail then you will not want to watch this. If the Director wants fresh & witty she should choose another author. Why bother have Dakota Johnson use a British accent & fill her mouth with expressions not used at the time? This was terrible. Time is precious. Don’t waste yours watching this.

Interesting but implausible premise. Melissa McCarthy is great. Kidman’s accent is inconsistent & annoying. Plus every time I see her I think how bad her facial injections are. The other performers are okay. David E. Kelly has done much better work. A little too weird for my taste.

Julia is neither attractive enough nor her character charming enough to be believable as a con artist. She’s just skinny enough to wear couture. Not sure if the accent is genuine but it’s supremely irritating. Couldn’t make it past 2 episodes. Good storyline but terrible casting of several characters. Very disappointing.
