The Millennium mini-series stood out to me as a fan of the Millennium book series because they managed to do what few book-movie adaptations seem to these days: stick with the plot line. While there were a few minor changes in events/characters, as a viewer who is familiar with the books, I could see that those changes were made to avoid confusion for the viewer who hasn't read the series. For example, by not introducing minor characters and of course editing material for the sake of time, they still managed to convey the essential elements of the story. The few changes that they did make seemed natural and made perfect sense, which I was actually grateful for in the time allotted.
From a viewing perspective, the acting is great and the script was spot on; sometimes even word for word from the book during the pivotal scenes, which I thought was fantastic. I loved Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyqvist in their respective roles as Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist. The casting was perfect.
If you are a fan of mystery and suspense, I highly recommend. Though, fair warning, the content is very adult. It deals with the subjects of misogyny, abuse, sexual assault, graphic violence, and more. If any of these things trigger you (which as a human being they should), you may not want to watch. But if you can stomach it, this is a series well worth watching.
