⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Great Expectations episode 1 review 'What Knight brings to the table is exactly what you’d expect: a dollop of darkness with extra grittiness and a side serving of swearing.'
What Knight brings to the table is exactly what you’d expect: a dollop of darkness with extra grittiness and a side serving of swearing. While the language and later instances of drug use in the series have had some Dickens purists clutching their pearls, it’s exactly the injection of difference necessary. Why would we want more of the same if we have 15 previous attempts to look to elsewhere?
Pip lives with his harsh older sister and her kindly blacksmith husband Joe Gargery , facing a future in the smithy despite his hankering for a better future. Episode one plays out his fateful encounter with escaped convict Magwitch , who threatens the boy in order to secure food, drink and a blade to cut his shackles after happening upon him in the graveyard.
Matt Berry is very much at home as Mr Pumblechook, although it’s a less broadly comedic role for him supports HTML5 video
