Roman Mysteries

It was an engaging series for people who have not read the books on which the series is based. The special effects were a little dodgy, but the acting was good, and this combined with great costumes and set more than made up for this.

However the pronunciation of Flavia as 'FLAY-via' instead of 'FLAH-via' began to grate on my nerves, although the author first wrote that the former pronunciation was correct, she later (source: roman mysteries website) she admitted that it was incorrect. The little things annoy me - such as the condensed script - but these concessions had to be made to fit the books into the episodes.
