I just found out that one of my all-time favorite stories, The Count of Monte Cristo, has been adapted as a TV show.
No idea on how good it is exactly but I'm watching episode 1 as we speak and apart from some modern details that stick out like a sore thumb, I like the cast.
Anyone else excited?! :D

It’s coming to the US in March and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m listening to the audiobook now.

We're first? Before the US? Lo and behold! *lol*Is it your first time reading the story?
There's quite a few adaptations out there. Looking forward to this.
Will want to hear your thoughts first! :)

I started it when it was on TV but it didn't hold my attention.
I really liked the 1998 mini-series, if you have not watched it. I will be checking this out though.

Since I like Gérard Depardieu as an actor a lot, I was very happy with the effort. I hope you will find it enjoyable as well.
The last thing I saw him in was The Man In The Iron Mask. *lol*
