This mini series was very well acted and its a good interpretation of the books. They are dark, intense and nasty. Both the books and this series leave you feeling unsatisfied IMO. I enjoyed reading and watching them however and as per my title there are some great performances by pretty much everyone involved. If you read the other reviews those that have rated it 4/10 have made some really valid points which I go along with but I believe the acting drags this up by a couple of points. Special mention to Jim Carter who is brilliant, as always. Why doesn't someone give him the lead in something? He's come a long way since a humble PC in Juliet Bravo (Chief Constable now!)
