I repeat - this does not have to mean that a mini-series is bad. Some mini-series have enough money, others dont need a lot of (expensive) CGI or SFX, others somehow make do with what they have (which is more astonishing then making a good film with lots of money) - but quite a few of them fail.
Bad SFX I can live with (possibly due to watching things like Dr Who in the 70s...), but bad CGI really wrecks the mood of the film (Golden Compass springs to mind)
