Synopsis

Dickensian intertwines the realm of fictional characters in Charles Dickens’ novels—including Scrooge, Fagin and Miss Havisham—in half-hour episodes, as their lives intertwine in 19th century London. The Old Curiosity Shop sits next door to The Three Cripples Pub, while Fagin’s Den is hidden down a murky alley off a bustling Victorian street.

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
miquellee This series brought Dickens to life in such a refreshing way. It was fun to see all the different books being brought together. The dark retelling is superb. And omg what acting!! I want more!
margot-rohan It would have been delightful to enjoy the well-rounded Dickensian characters again this Christmas. Instead we have been bombarded with repeats of dramas seen several times already. What has happened to this wonderful series?
studioAT Touted as one of the BBC's gifts to us as viewers over the Christmas 2015 period this ended up being a bit of an expensive flop for them, being axed after one series.It had a lot of potential, but people just didn't get into it. The scheduling didn't help it take on a sort of soap like quality, but the basic fact was people may know the main Dickens characters, but some of the ones that popped up were just too obscure for the average viewer.I applaud the BBC for trying something different, goodness knows they don't do it often, but they really didn't help themselves by moving this show around the schedules so much.
gharknes has turned out to be almost quite annoying to watch, the storyline is has become predictable and shallow following the same thing these last few episodes, it could have been great had the story taken a more realistic path, I love a good mystery and with an added twist including certain characters but it has gone past my expectation of what is reasonable and has become nonsense.Something or someone needed to be exposed to maintain my interest and now it is just bordering on silly, lets keep people on the edge no matter what, like I said annoying and unrealisticOn a positive - great acting and roles befitting of each character but not sure I am going to watch the next three episodes because it has become ......... a none event
