I enjoyed the TV mini series: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0142032/ https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0142032/ https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0287839/ https://m.imdb.com/t

  Yep, it was actually pretty good. I went in with low expectations which were handily exceeded. While I wouldn't say it was ideal, it was definitely worth watching.

  I agree. Opinions differ, some people like the Lynch movie better than the mini series, but I definitely liked the mini series while I found the Lynch movie virtually unwatchable.

    I think the Lynch movie could have done better with better writers and less wooden actors. Some of the scenes cut around like cheap spaghetti westerns. Really bad editing...

  The mini series was... earnest. To me, it was a fine reminder that, while letting someone like Lynch ride roughshod over the source material isn't great, you can still get a pretty mediocre result from being faithful to the source material. IMO the biggest weak spot of the miniseries was that it was about 50/50 good actors and terrible ones; and nothing shows this up more than scenes shared between both types of actors. The adaptation of Gormenghast had the same problem. It's almost better to have all indifferent actors, rather than have John Hurt swapping lines with someone who would be lucky to get a role in a soap opera.
