I haven't read the book so knew nothing about what this mini series entailed but I love David Tenant and he along with Michael Sheen carry this series they are both fabulous but I found it to be old, flat, un inspiring and underwhelming I even fell asleep during each episode which I never do. It didnt make me laugh or have me gripped I'm afraid, it shouldn't be a 15 as it's very childish at times. I think alot of the actors are miscast and the CGI is below average. Shame as I really wanted to enjoy it.
