Don't waste your time

Fraught with weak character development and the story line veered so far from the original as to be almost unrecognizable. Aunt Patience appears only marginally cowed and afraid of Joss, who himself is only a shadow of the menacing creature of DuMaurier's novel. The novel held me spell bound and in fear for both Mary and Patience - not so this version. Nor does the vicar's character portray the eeriness of DuMaurier's. After watching through the first half of episode 2, I gave it up as a waste of time. I understand that movie/tv adaptations of literature often take liberties but seriously, this was way past anything resembling necessity. Don't waste the time to watch this version. Better off reading the novel!
