> Set within the fictional realms of Charles Dickens' critically acclaimed novels, Dickensian brings together some of literature's most iconic characters, including Scrooge, Fagin and Miss Havisham, as their lives intertwine in 19th century London.
I’ve seen the first 6 EPs and am really enjoying it. A fun idea and the sets and costumes and performances are all great.
Too bad it wasn’t renewed for another season. They could have done it with other writers. How about Hugo - Jean Valjean interacting with characters from The Hunchback of Notre Dame?
What others could there be?

Dickensian was on PBS a few months ago, which is where I saw it. I liked it, even though I haven’t read all of Dickens’ novels.

I really liked it- especially Miss Haversham & the future Lady Dreadlock’s story. I thought Stephen Rea was especially good in it.
