Thoroughly enjoyed this adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel. Acting was all superb...was really surprised to see Gillian Anderson play such a role. Overall, the story had everything...murder, mystery, undying love, scandal...good stuff and worth the nearly 8 hours of TV time! :)

A beautiful dramatization of a Charles Dickens classic. The actors and direction were top notch. Gillian Anderson gives a brillian performance.

I have just watched the first of the three discs of Bleak House and have found the beginning episodes to be an amazing representation of Charles Dickens' Victorian-era writing. The scenes were done so well that I could almost "smell" what the filmmaker was trying to capture in addition to the visual effects. The acting is superb. I heartily recommend watching the entire DVD through twice to catch nuances missed the first time that add tremendously to the story line. I can hardly wait to see the rest of the series!

This story had a great plot and not a single bad actor. I would highly recommend it for its highly entertaining qualities and it was a good clean movie too!
