COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good Program submitted by crazypockets on August 23, 2013, 10:36am Fans of good British drama will enjoy this miniseries. It follows the life of a young woman whose father lives in a debtors prison and the hardships they endure. While I didn't get as wrapped up in this story as I have with others, I very much enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.

Engaging submitted by ferielp on August 29, 2018, 9:09am Tom Courtenay as William Dorrit was a wonderful performance. You pity him for the delusions he has to keep him company in his unfortunate situation, you feel mortified for him and his family when he boasts and brags even though he does it with no ill-intent. He is lovable for his innocence and abhorrent for his treatment of his daughter Amy once his fortune changes.
