Finally finished His Dark Materials (tv show), it was good but not great. It felt lacking in a lot of areas, and I often couldn't tell if it was bad scripting or bad acting, the bigger names gave reliable performances but some of smaller ones really left a lot to be desired. Will say Simone Kirby (Mary Malone) has definitely been added to my list of actors to watch out for.
Anyway off to rewatch baby Ruth Wilson absolutely kill it as Jane Eyre in the 2006 adaptation as a palate cleanse.
Question. Have you seen the series The Village? It has Maxine Peake in it. It's a really good show if you haven't.
For a minute there I thought there was a TV series of the Joaquin Phoenix movie. That would be pretty good.
This one's an English biopic.
