Just watched it. Not impressed. This Sigfried was quite the dick. Much preferred the old version - and the books.
Slacker.

I’m not familiar with any of the cast, but they all seem very capable so far.
Samuel West, who plays Siegfried, is the son of Timothy West and Prunella Scales. Callum Woodhouse, who plays Tristram, is from The Durrells, a show with a very similar tone (I think it’s the same production company, even the titles are the same style). I don’t know the rest of the cast, aside from recurring guests like Diana Rigg and Matt Lewis (Neville Longbottom from Harry Potter).
I know Samuel West from Mr. Selfridge, another show that I really enjoyed.
