All time favorite miniseries?

[Anonymous]

Big Little Lies (at least the first season that was produced as a 7 hour miniseries).

It's the miniseries version of Austen's "Emma" -- NOT the feature film but the TV version with Romola Garai and Jonny Lee Miller. Give it a try, P&P fans. I don't think it streams anywhere; you will have to find the DVDs but it's worth it. No, Jonny Lee Miller is no Colin Firth, but then, Mr. Knightley is no Mr. Darcy, and that's exactly as it should be....

Funnily enough I was overseas last week and the only English-language channel in my hotel was showing this version of "Emma" and I loved it! I hadn't seen it before but liked Romola Garai so much better than Gwyneth Paltrow, which was the only other version I'd seen (unless you count "Clueless" which yes, I liked ). I was so annoyed when they switched over to Monty Python skits after the 3rd episode so I didn't get to watch it to the end.

This is my favorite version of "Emma" too! The Gwyneth movie was a bit too frothy. The Kate Beckinsale one, Knightly was too grumpy. I love the bantering of Romola Garai and Jonny Lee Miller. He was the perfect Knightly IMHO.

North and South on Netflix. This beats pride and prejudice in the costume drama romance category. Richard Armitage is incredible in it.

Yeah, I think this is my favorite too followed closely by the 2006 version of Jane Eyre with Ruth Wilson.

When I think of mini-series, I also think of the 1985 Civil War series North and South (with Patrick Swayze). Although I loved it at the time, I'm not sure that has aged well.

A recent one I liked was A Very English Scandal (Hugh Grant).

Lace: The min-series!

My mom's is Thornbirds. i watched Lace about 10 years ago on YouTube

Yes, I hoped I wasn't the only one to think of Lace! I watched it when it first appeared in the 80's - I was a teenager and loved it! First time I heard the B word on tv lol!! It was scandalous at the time

I love this version too and watched it on Prime Video just a few months ago. I bet it’s still available on there. Happy watching!
