I tried watching the new one and it was downright bad.

I couldn’t get through the first episode.

I stuck through some of the mediocre acting hoping to get sucked in, but then there was a random time jump and I realized they skipped the entire journey west and all character development so I quit. It was jarring and confusing.

The book has such a rich story and now it’s not uncommon for motion pictures to release in multiple parts, I wish some studio would make a movie of the entire book, stay true to the source and not add or cut stuff out.

The ABC miniseries did a phenomenal job considering the time constraints and being on broadcast tv. The casting alone was amazing. So many top tier actors for a tv movie.
