I don’t know if this came out on PBS Masterpiece Theatre but if it did I missed it. I’m glad the library had it available. This miniseries is binge worthy if you’d like magic, fantasy and historical eras with a touch of British accents.…

Rated 2/10. Too bizarre for my taste.

Here's the magic: How did they take one of the most engaging, readable books that had a brilliant idea on every page and turn it into a boring, slow moving mini-series? Hocus-pocus! This is what the BBC did, which is so unlike them for…
