Refuge in "Bleak House"

Masterpiece Theatre's languid take on the Dickens classic is a refreshing break from our sound-bite, bloggified culture.

    Gillian Anderson had me at "bored"!

    I giggled with delight when I saw the headline of this article. This mini series has become my (not very well kept) secret obessession since I watched the first 5 minutes! S.Z. is right, it is fun watching the show in weekly installments...the anticipation of what happens next keeps the story spinning through my thoughts all week. And the acting! I can almost not bear to watch my other TV favorites because Bleak House is so superior. To those late to the show, do yourself a favor and just buy it in a few weeks...you won't be sorry. It's the best, most interesting and fun TV I've seen in years!
