The book is incredible. I've read it many times. I watched the first episode and they made several changes already. They didn't exactly make the communists likeable but they don't call them communists. I don't even know if they called them bolsheviks. Some other character changes that didn't seem necessary (like his cousin playing a predominant role, rather than getting jammed up very early by the bolsheviks for bolshevist shite) and also that the Count never fantasized about escaping in the book. He wasn't a pussy. They made him a pussy. I'll keep watching. It is cool to look at and McGregor does a good job. Ossop showed up too early. The bishop looks appropriate.
