Around the World in 80 Days

At first I thought'meh?' Then as it progressed it got better and better Great fun to watch tenant is truly gifted Highly recommend this all round series destined to be a family classic.

Golly - what a lot of people moaning about this adaptation! Yes there are changes to the novel but they are not transgressing it's spirit. Its great to have a thoughtful and proactive passe-partout, and Miss. Fix is a welcome addition appropriate for a 21st century screenplay. The films look great and the production quality is clear. The music is a treat too (Hans Zimmer again!)

I'm seeing lots of criticism for this show for not living up to the originals, but coming from someone who hasn't ever seen them, I thoroughly enjoyed this series. It doesn't have to be identical to the original to still be a really good series, you just have to look at it for what it is.

David Tennant is phenomenonal throughout and the supporting cast is very good. Okay, it's not a perfect series but what is? I'd highly recommend watching if you want some adventure!

I've noticed on IMDB there seem to be a lot of people that start to cringe at the slightest hint of something being "woke, political correctness" etc etc and will just punish the show with their rating.

Well, sorry if for those reviewers that want to live on a crappy planet and feel pained by modern sensibilities. In the meantime, this was just an enjoyable series, great scenery, fantastic acting and it was around the world in 80 days.

An excellent cast makes a good fist of a very uneven script, but I was left feeling a great opportunity was missed. I read all the Jules Verne books when I was around 11, but couldn't remember the details of this one - and I'm glad I only looked up those details after watching this series. Had I done it before watching it, I would probably have ended up yelling at the TV like many other reviewers here, because so many great ideas (like the India part of the story) are absent and the evolution of the characters (who are all different) badly twisted. Beside all the that, the script they actually created is constantly frustrating and sometimes annoying, but the cast and production was good enough to keep me watching till the end.
