I absolutely LOVE PBS Masterpiece Theater production of Bleak House. I think Gillian Anderson is perfection in that role. She brings yes, an icy quality to the role but also a quite humanness and piercing sadness to it as well. There is a crack in that ice that begs to be melted. The ice, I think, comes from years of desperation in a May/December loveless marriage of social class convenience and a yearning for the completed family she ever-so- briefly had. Love, which I think is the centrifugal element of Dickens from which ALL other social ills flow, has been, through no real fault of her own, denied Lady Dedlock in her life. I could talk about this work for hours. I am simply riveted by the character and by Gillian Anderson's performance. I think she is perfect!
