Edward L @Glyndower May 30, 2023 'Reimagining' is the second-rate adaptor's excuse for thinking they are better writers than the original. A bad move when the original is Henry Fielding, one of the greats of English literature. This series is devoid of any pace, humour or sexual chemistry and is furthered hampered by the ludicrious woke casting of Sophie and her maid, played by two of the worst black British actors I have seen. Although to be fair, Shirley Henderson, playing the aunt is even worse, giving, as usual, her 'Moaning Myrtle' from 'Harry Potter' performance. How does this woman get work? The 1997 BBC series is far better while the 1963 Oscar-winning film still works well. Watch those, not this rubbish.

I truly want to see Whoopi Goldberg playing Queen Elizabeth 1st, a role she was clearly born for. This is not rewriting history, it is "re-imagining it for modern audiences". Great stuff!!!!
