    Shame on you A&E. The production value of this series rivals that of an after-school special or a History channel reenactment. The acting is atrocious, flat out. I appreciate campy British humour as much as the next person, however this is beyond ridiculous. The screenwriters were extremely liberal in their adaptation of Neil Gaiman's much-loved novel, twisting it into an unrecognizable trainwreck of cinema. I do not recommend this to anyone, especially if they've read the book.

    So, if you haven’t read Gaiman’s book (which I suggest that everyone should), what can you expect from this series? To begin, the acting is some of the worst I have ever encountered in a series or film. Nobody seemed to be in their role at all. Their characters were so underdeveloped that they changed in nearly every scene. I felt as if the Marquis had just graduated from High School drama and was handed this part. Door was not the woman I wanted her to be, and Richard Mayhew was nothing more than a bumbling idiot with futile attempts of humorous interruptions. These interruptions only soured this series even more. The humor in some of these scenes was unnecessary and a complete knock against the book. The only aspect that I did laugh at during this series was the acting and the overall cheap feeling I had from watching this. Several showers were taken after each viewing. Overall, I was greatly disappointed.
