I think of Dickens and think of tales about kindness, survival, good will and hope under duress. This show takes what charm these stories have and infuses them with murder, suspicion, rape (of old ladies and young), prostitution & the killing of beloved pets. It superimposes an awful theme full of fear and treachery over these beloved charming characters. I can see there is a supposed 'happy ending' but it is merely the catching of a murderer. This new simplistic theme creates a shift in vision away from warmth and kindness to one of doubt and fear. For some people this shallow new interpretation may be remembered as the meaning of Dickens works. What a perverse thing to do. Wow.
