There is currently an 8 episode drama series on PBS that is incredible if anyone is looking for their next 8 hour binge. Highly recommend.

Interesting enough the book was a product of condensing a weekly serial in a french newspaper.

Is this something you have to record, or is it streaming somewhere? The PBS app?

Please tell me this a joke, I've been waiting for so long for a proper adaptation(at least one where Edmond doesn't end up with Mercades but instead Haudee at the end.) Of course the stupid DEI crowd would go after this, they're hell bent on distorting historical fiction and turning it into the same diverse slop we see everywhere else. Hell Alexander Dumas was mulatto and he would be pissed on this miscasting crap. Ali Pasha and Haydee are Albanian, ALBANIAN.

Crap like this is why I can't wait for AI to replace the film industry. The art is the novel, the filmmakers' job is create a faithful adaptation of that art, not provide their own artistic interpretation of it because quite frankly their interpretations are always for the worse not better.

Pretty sure it started off as a film in 2002 with the guy who played Jim Caviezel? Dude Pierce, I'm pretty certain was his arch-nemesis.

No, from Yanina/Janina which is Albania (our family is reading the chapter on her story specifically right now, as in last night).

Also, child slaves from the Balkans used by the Ottoman Empire as an army were called Janissaries. History of Eastern Europe since 1492 at tamu comes in clutch for me, finally.
