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
