The Miniaturist

[Slartybartfast]

Quite good.
very artistic.

I'm watching. I loved the book and I think it's been well cast.

Meh with a side order of meh!

I couldn't empathise with any of the characters.

Meh!

I'd forgotten this was on - hated the book but loved the concept of it, so had meant to watch. maiden has summed up what I expect it would be like though if true to what I read!

I liked it, loved the book, liked the casting too.

Hated the book so much I couldn't finish it I think this is ok.

Loved the book and really enjoying the adaptation so far.

Don't know the book. Liked the adaptation. The hooded character is the blonde actress from Humans so I shall expect to see more of her in the second episode.

I thought it was beautifully filmed & an intriguing story. I might look out the book today.

I loved it! Completely compelling and a great show for Christmas. Highly recommend. can't wait for tonight's episode

Why for the love of everything marzipan didn't Johannes just sell the bloody sugar and why did he let it rot?

What utter nonsense.

He let it spoil so that the fortune would be less. It was clearly explained throughout.

I forgot how much I hated the book.

This is even worse, except pretty to look at.

"Oh there has to be another way"
"`You must stay, you are needed here"

Could there be anymore clichees in that dialogue?

Loved the book, think this is good although to me Otto seemed a bit young (but I can't remember how old he is in the book).

Watching it now.

Haven't read the book.

Really like it. So beautiful.

It was advertised as a thriller, but it wasnt really.
but I did enjoy watching it.

I read the book yesterday morning so that I'd read it in time for the TV version starting - I found the adaptation pretty flat tbh, but enjoyed the book.

I enjoyed watching it last night. Something a bit different which is difficult to come across these days.

Haven't read the book but loved this just now on I player. I enjoy a good slow burner to lose yourself in.

It's an afternoon view, I reckon though

I tried to read the book but couldn’t get into it though really liked the idea of the story

I enjoyed it. Prefer a good Agatha mystery but enjoying it so far

The sets were all very Vermeer-y. Loved guessing what the little parcel contents would foretell and for who.
I liked it, but couldn’t get through the book.

I enjoyed it, I like a slow burner too, looking forward to tonight.

Thought the book was awful but knew a) it had been written to be made into a film and b) the film would look gorgeous.

Plus point is that it seems to be rattling through the story.

I too found it a bit different, which added to my enjoyment. But what I most enjoyed was the costumes. They were very authentic and the characters looked as though they might have stepped straight out of the paintings by the Flemish Masters

I also liked the fact that Amsterdam still looks as it probably did in the late 17th century

Read the book so won't be watching - it was a waste of time!
