I think we're on the same page about this adaptation so far. :-) It was hard for me to figure out who's who and I went back and forth between watching the episode and scrolling through the IMDB website to see who was playing who. They do have a good cast and I think that helps to keep me interested especially when I'm having trouble following all the different threads.

So far, none of the character appeal to me as someone to root for and I'm not really impressed with Pierre.

Do you plan to keep the story arc a surprise or will you look up a summary of the novel and see how it ends?
