Well ,it's subjective. I can give them credit for attempting an original twist, but I skipped through most of the 3rd hour, the bit that was set in present times.
And I see the multicast book is 15+ hours. That's a big ask if you already know how it ends.
Personally, and heretically, I think several classics could benefit from an abridged dramatisation. Keep the plot and the dialogue, lose a few hundred pages of descriptions..
Ps I did like the bbc 2019 thre hour take on the war of the worlds. Much more than the 8 part 2020 fox/canal plus joint venture
