Very different from the old film noir version starring Joan Crawford, this mini-series lifts the paving of 1930s America, giving a view of the creatures crawling beneath its surface. I watched Woody Allen's 'Cafe Society' straight afterwards as a kind of antidote and it really lifted my mood.

A good mini series, although I think my wife enjoyed it more than me as it was more of a ladies film.very well acted and gripping
Having seen the amazing Joan Crawford in the original, I suppose I expected to see the same plot and characters, but slightly updated and in colour. However.....this is a different take on the story; Mildred is quite colourless and one cannot fathom the close bond she has with her hideous (but beautiful) daughter Vida. Unless she is just living out her own dreams through the girl; maybe that's it, and Vida is some parasitic cling on that sucks her mother dry, then passes on to make her own life. It is rather slow, being a series format, but enjoyable for all that. Just don't expect a re-run of the Crawford version.
