Pompous M 4d Engaging and well acted. Will Sharpe and Paul Bettany are superb. The genius of Mozart the extraordinarily gifted composer is well explored. He was truly the pop genius of his era. Ignore the bigoted audience reviews and their pathetic pre occupations with woke nonsense. See more Brian K @Briankeith3 5d The story revolves around Salieri/Mr. Bettany and his life-long pathological jealosy. What a thin perspective on a great composer, even if largely fictional. Further, Bettany's over the top acting ruins the entire show. Othetwise, it might have been better (i.e. so-so, instead of poor). The sets and costumes, and some supporting actors are all very good, as is the music. The actor playing Mozart is good but not great, but he had little to work with in this largely 2-D portrayal. Maddenly, disappointing. See more Edward L @Glyndower Feb 2 An entertaining opening up of the original film/stage-play slightly marred by the now compulsory woke casting. There is no doubt that ethnic minorities have been underrepresented in the past but this is best addressed, as it has been, by widening casting of contemporary drama not by making half of 18th Century Viennese high-society black. See more Gordie Q @Gordiemovietvfan Jan 29 Not sure why the popcorn meter for the non-critics are so low. What is not to like about the series? Even the performances from Mozart is so amazing to watch and listen to. See more J H @Jimbo76 Jan 21 This was a really good bit of TV. Superb performances all around and a faithful adaptation of the classic. It’ll annoy some as brings a modern feel of bawdy and crude element to the story.i suspect this is why the low audience reviews? Though, for me that really brought it to life with Mozart as a ‘crash and burn’ Rock Star, to Salieri’s jealous, seething imperfection. Go with the critics! This one’s great!
