Does anyone else actually quite like this?

While the first episode was weaker, by the end of the second episode I think this is quite good! I think all the negative comments are a bit uncalled for.

It's so hard to do the Titanic in a vaguely original way but I think this is a good job and it focuses on contemporary background stuff like the situation in Ireland (which I'm actually learning about right now so is surprisingly relevant and interesting) and I found the end of Episode 2 really moving! The interaction between the social classes is an interesting focus and although I can see why people say its rushed perhaps its a bit early to judge that since we've only seen two episodes. I think the format of finding out more and more each episode is kind of fun and keeps the classic story interesting and fresh.

I hope the whole of Episode 3 centres around that Italian waiter, mmmm. He can wink at me any day.

I think it's one of my favourite adaptions so far! :)

I was very dissapointed by the first episode but it seems to get better with each episode--and I can't wait to see how it ends. I think the format is just what screws it up, there's a good show in there somewhere (bar the historical inaccuracies).

I prefer the chronological version of this miniseries. I've seen part one on YouTube and it's awesome!

Do you have a link? I found one of the german tv channels has it online for viewing but it's dubbed

I'm absolutely hooked now and thoroughly enjoying it. It's going to be heartbreaking now we're attached to the characters

Eh, it was OK, but I felt as if I was watching 4 different versions of the same show.

I think it would've been better if the episodes were 90 minutes. I believe there should have been a few more episodes to develop the characters. The whole Peter Lubov storyline could have been better if he knew Mary Maloney from his past. The whole miniseries was missing that certain oomph and I blame it on the short time length.
