Pretty damned good so far. Pretty dark. Great acting.


Edit: it's over. Phenominal.

I watched the last half of it with my wife one night last week. They did a very nice job with it.

I turned the channel about 15 mins in... that whole "stream of consciousness" riff by a too-young Scrooge and the lax, back-talking Bob Cratchit was just too contrived for me.

Just one man's opinion. If you like that sort of thing,you like that sort of thing.

I cruised through the channels and stopped on FX after seeing "Christmas Carol" just in time to catch an earful of "F" bombs with a room full of Christmas guests (including kids). Oops, didn't know that was part of the gig, so left it and moved on to more appropriate content for my guests.

Watched it yesterday. Yes, pretty dark examination of how ES came to be. His transformation into Mr. Happy Christmas wasn't very convincing though. Seemed rushed at the end.

Scrooge escaped into reading the story 1001 Nights when he was sent away to boarding school where he was raped every Christmas by the headmaster.
