I love Elvis and his music, but this movie contained neither. The lead actors looked like Elvis and Pricilla, but although Jacob Elordi looked more like Elvis than Austin Butler, he lacked the excitement that Austin Butler displayed in the movie Elvis.
In fact Elvis does not come over too well in this movie. Ignoring the awful fact that Pricilla was only 14 when they met, something that was not overlooked for Chuck Berry or Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis comes across as someone mentally disturbed and not nice to be around. Plus he is constantly smoking cigarettes, something Elvis didn't do.
Sofia Coppola has made what could have been a good movie into one of the most boring biopics I have ever seen.

This could have been very good, but it is like watching two different movies.
As others have said, Eddie Redmayne is very good, but much of the supporting cast, especially Lashana Lynch are awful.
The back story involving her family is pointless and worth fast-forwarding through.
In fact a lot of the back-stories are pointless and it could have moved faster with out them.
I also found the overuse of profanity unnecessary.
I hope that if they make another series, they consider casting better and concentrate on the main story.
The Day of The Jackal author Frederick Forsyth has revealed he sold the film rights to his 1971 bestseller decades ago for just £20,000 (around $25,000) - and will get next to nothing from the new $126,000,000 TV adaptation. 'The new adaptation has paid him a modest fee for the title. "It wasn't out of obligation," he said, " it was a gesture.

I loved this series, it was entertaining, well acted and very well made.
The characters were believable and you find yourself routing for justice.
All actors played their parts well and it is hard to pick out anyone in particular.
The story is of a working class family in 1890s Yorkshire, they work in a fish dock but make their fortune and move to a vast country estate.
Acceptance is what Mary Hardacre wants but she is rebuffed by the established gentry and even one of her servants.
Sam Hardacre is more down to earth and wants to use his wealth to help his former work colleagues.
Well worth a watch and I recommend this to any who like period dramas.
