My teenage kids loved this drama series. Another great adoption of Charles Dickens by BBC. Highly recommend.

GOOD 2008 British miniseries based on Charles Dickens's serial novel of the same title, originally published between 1855 and 1857. Fine production and costumery plus talented actors and actresses shed light on the varied social…

An excellent adaption of the novel, and in my opinion, a far preferable way to experience this story by Charles Dickens. Most of the faults of the original novel are not present, when you can see the characters, situations, scenery…

Good but sometimes boringly long, other times hasty when you expect it to be more elaborate.

A brilliant adaptation of a big and important novel. For those who like lessons: vanity is exposed, avarice is punished and kindness and love prevail. But the characters are what bring it to life. Claire Foy and Tom Courtenay as Little…

I didn't know this particular story of Dickens's but was amazed all over again at the wisdom and integrity portrayed in this drama. Fabulous characters and characterizations by many of the actors. Good stuff!

What a star-studded series with superb performances from many familiar faces I had come to know from watching other British series. The intriguing story also provided me with some insight into the life of residences in debtor's prison…

Usual BBC high-quality production. Dickens deftly portrays class struggles, family secrets, byzantine bureaucracy, effects of long-term imprisonment and sudden riches, and whether true love is really possible. This is a long story (4 DVDs)…

Great adaptation of the Dickens classic. The show is 14 half hour episodes - the book itself is even longer (as I remember). Contains the classic, colorful Dickens characters. Little Dorrit is the youngest Dorrit daughter (Amy) born and…

It is helpful to read a synopsis first, otherwise my favorite Dickens book put to screen. An all-star cast of brilliant actors produced in 2008 & watch their earlier careers. Alun Armstrong's best as the growling butler. Claire Foy as Amy…

I wish I could watch more movie series like this, they just dont make them this good anymore! This was clean excellence. I enjoy british dramas with an air of suspense to it. I was not disappointed, it was very well done and highly…

One of the best BBC productions I've seen! If you are a fan of Charles Dickens, this series is a must see. I was sorry to see it end.

Everything about this miniseries is first-rate. Amazing production values, set designs, story, performances and music. I watched the entire series over a few days and this seems to be a wonderful way to soak it all in. You're in for a…

This series, like many BBC period pieces, is truly a work of art - the vividness of the sets and scenery, the elaborateness of the costumes, the liveliness of the characters, and the emotional power of the music are all of an unusually…

An amazing marvel of story--well told. It is beautiful, funny, and lovely. The cast is spot on in every way. The book is very fat with politics. Enough is here to give a taste. Perfect midwinter treat.

This is one of the greatest projects that Masterpiece has ever made. It's funny, heartbreaking, and creepy at parts. The acting is superb and the art direction is even better. Everyone should watch this because its amazing. There is no…

Quite simply outstanding. The two leads (Claire Foy and Matthew Macfadyen) are wonderful and are complemented by a superb ensemble cast. Yes it is long but boy is it worth it!

Yes, it is 13 episodes but they are only 1/2 hour ones. We enjoyed this thoroughly and were almost sorry to see it end. Matthew MacFadyen and Claire Foy are fantastic.

Anyone a fan a period dramas should like this piece, if only for the fact that its a 13-episode series.
