"Victorian greed exposed with wit and menace"
Adapted from Anthony Trollope's novel, this Victorian-set miniseries follows a mysterious financier who arrives in London and dazzles society with promises of railway riches, while a tangle of debt-ridden aristocrats, hopeful suitors, and scheming relatives circle his fortune. It's a sharp, witty portrait of greed dressed up in good manners, carried by a superb ensemble and a magnetic central performance. The pace is unhurried but the satire stays biting, more concerned with exposing hypocrisy and financial folly than with romance for its own sake, though there's plenty of that too.
a towering performance as the era's most seductive and dangerous fraudster.
you want fast pacing rather than a slow, layered social satire.
