Recently read the book, so I was curious about this miniseries. It turns out to be a very faithful film adaptation, which puts down all the main lines in a recognizable way and only changes some textually to keep it a bit more compact - that works fine. Little (visual) fuss further, you can already notice the difference between the 90s and the current 'Netflix' standards.

The acting violence comes mainly from Scofield, Postlethwaite and Wilkinson. However, Allen and Franks are also very nice in their roles. The last one reminded me a lot of Rik Mayall!

The only thing that really disappointed me was the visit from Martin Jr. and Tapley to the United States. For me that episode was one of the highlights of the novel, but in the series we only see two short scenes about it.
