    Little Dorrit is anchored by an extraordinary performance by one of England's best actors. And like "Twist," that central performance is only one of many elements that make Dorrit not only terrific entertainment, but, in some ways, perhaps even better than its source material.

    Dorrit is a gripping whodunit, a grand romance, and a timely rags-to-riches-and-back-again tale of financial corruption.

    Add strong performances by a dozen major characters, starting with Claire Foy as Little Dorrit, and you've got the kind of production television is often accused of having abandoned.

    A great rendition of a great masterpirce. It makes me want to read the book again (and that would be something, since it's over eighth hundred pages long). Still, the acting is superb, the adaptation superb, the sets are well designed. All in all, the best television in many a time.… Expand
