I have watched the first two episodes, a bit on the slow side I feel. Personally glad there is no singing!!! Should we consider Victor Hugo the French Charles Dickens? The latter certainly doesn't have so many roads named after him in his own country.

I'm really into this adaptation, it is something I have never taken an interest in with a musical attachment. Gritty story, emotional also to see Fantine getting dragged deeper and deeper into the mire. Then we have that nasty piece of work 'Javert' the police Inspector who doggedly pursues 'Valjean'.
Can't wait for the next episode.

I was also a bit suprised at the rapid transformation of the released prisoner to wealthy respectable businessman, perhaps I should get it on the Kindle for our next big trip.
Apologies for the bold quirk of my phone
