The dull music score is all over the place! Shut up it a minute, for God's sake!
I wasn't exactly expecting to get the very same kind of entertainment than the one broadcast in the 1970s. In fact I was even willing to get a fresh angle to the TV classic series, a bit like the excellent 2003 Forsyte Saga version, for instance.Someone mentioned faults in the story telling and indifferent characters. Quite true. But for my part, I was very annoyed by the excessive (and often overstating) music score throughout the whole show. Not a minute without the damn melody in the background. On occasions, you hardly even hear what people say because of it. More than distracting, it irritated me to the extreme. A part from that, the actor weren't bad and the production values were quite impressive, but the music Was it so necessary to have some in every single sequence.
"Silence is made of gold", they say. A bit of it would have been a good treat.
score 4/10
