Amazon Original Vanity Fair

I liked it better than both the BBC and Reese Witherspoon versions. Plus, the soundtrack is amazing! Covers of modern songs.

I thought it was very good! The casting of Becky Sharp was really good, and her take on the character was faithful to the book. They covered a lot of ground in the handful of episodes, the costumes were gorgeous, and the pacing was more or less ok. Dobbin was too good-looking, though I like that actor a lot. Overall I definitely recommend this version!

Just adding +1 to the above comments. I know no one has commented in a long time.

I watched this over 3 days and loved it. I’m a British lit fan, so it was especially fun for me.

Me again. Also Rawdon was my favorite.

The camera made him look more and more good looking as he show went on. James Bond material maybe.

I'm about 2/3 through the episodes and I'm finding it a bit dull. The two main actresses are good (Becky and Amelia) but the men are not that interesting (so far).

It is a hard story to tell well since so many of the characters seem to have more bad qualities than good. The Reese Witherspoon version has some serious flaws but I thought it at least had a very interesting George Osborne. In the Amazon version, George is very flat.
