An adaptation brave enough to show when Rochester cosplays as an old Gypsy woman

there's this scene in episode 6, in which Mr Rochester says "you little niggard". the actors were fighting for their lives not to burst out laughing. I'm so glad it made the final cut.
also the best mr rochester in my opinion.

Timothy Dalton is such a good Mr. Rochester. I TOO would like him to call me his little pale mustard seed.

Cinematography is bad. Night scenes are just straight up unwatchable and it’s a VICTORIAN story. You also get this feeling that the director was so very strict on the actors hitting all their blocking. Sometimes Timothy Dalton will strike a pose in a wider shot and he’ll just FREEZE in it. He won’t move his neck sometimes. It’s so strange. 

Watch if you’d like an accurate adaptation some nice scenery and when I say scenery I mean Timothy Dalton.
