Le miserables

[Doobydoobydooyeh]

Anyone watching? Not quite the same without the songs!

Jeez this is heart breaking 😭

"There's a grief that can't be spoken". 😥

I am very much enjoying the level of accuracy. Enjolras and Grantaire dying holding hands always kills me in the book.

It's so harsh!

It is either Valjean or Javert.

THUNK!

As I stare into the void of a world that cannot hold.

He is a brilliant Javert.

This bit was glossed over in the musical. Possibly so we wouldn't come away thinking Marius was a bit of a prick.

Oh those two little ones begging at the end just about broke my heart.

That was fabulous!

In tears

Those two little boys

That was incredible! So moving. What an amazing adaptation. Loved it even though it was such a tough watch...also in tears

I've never read the book, seen the musical or seen the film. I LOVED this series. Looked forward to it every week and I'm just sad it over.

Awesome. Very moving. One of the best tv series I've seen for ages.

curious to know what the recommendations were that Javert made in his letter?

Cause I heard that RL France made changes due to the outcry that Hugo's book created

Such a powerful story and phenomenal acting! I hadn't read the book, seen the film or the musical, but loved this adaptation. I don't know what I will do with my Sunday nights now...

One of the recommendations was about prisoners not being made to go barefoot, I think. Seems he was trying to bring in some more humane treatment.

That was pure class.

Compelling, brilliant acting/direction and, of course, original source material. What a story! It's got me looking up another of my favourite tales, The Mayor of Casterbridge.

I have just re-watched the musical, but preferred this by a country mile.

Well done, Beeb. Not a dry eye in the house tonight.

Javert's recommendations as detailed in the book.

Absolutely loved it ( I do also like the musical but this was amazing.) So many bits had me welling up, apart from the death of Valjean - Enjolras (why is he always so much better than Marius?), Gavroche, even the death of Javert got me this time.

As for those those two little boys at the end, repeating the cycle of poverty - just heartbreaking.

just wow. excellent series. more of it please bbc

Super series. Dominic West was brilliant.

Love love loved it!!
But now I have nothing to look forward to... what can I watch next? -no Netflix or similar... damn it!

My heart! 💔

Basically sobbed for an hour with some brief pauses. Gavroche, Enjolras and Grantaire holding hands, the grandfather being teary eyed, even cried at Javert laying his baton (?) and hat down so carefully before jumping.

The two little boys...

I should know but when Rivette reaches for Javert's collar on the carriage and he tells him not to touch him, what was Rivette doing/going to do?

I have really enjoyed this too, but I love Dominic West and have enjoyed everything I have seen him in.

But, if you want to see a really different DW watch the film Pride, he plays Johnathan Blake ones of the first gay men to be diagnosed HIV in London and he is superbly brilliant in it and has a fantastic dance scene which I can watch over and over again,
