What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis new take on *A Tale of Two Cities* is a divisive and mostly disappointing watch. The central story of two lookalikes, Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton, caught in the Revolution gets a lukewarm response at best. Kit Harington's performance as Sydney Carton is a major sticking point, with many finding it unconvincing, and the show is widely panned for lacking any real originality. It's not all bad, some viewers found Mirren Mack's Lucie Manette sympathetic, but the overall feeling is that this adaptation doesn't justify itself.
