Pillars of the Earth

Anyone else on my f-list watching this? I don't have starz (or whatever it is airing on) but I do have netflix and have been able to stream it via the instant queue. Of course I don't remember all if the details of the book (and isn't it amazing how I can forget way more than I can remember..even with something I have read as an adult) so I don't even know how true it is to the novel. Still, I've been glued to the screen. Plus, it has Rufus Sewell looking better than ever so there's that!

I was watching it but I was getting confused about things. I think I'll let it get further along and then watch them all at one go.

I was a bit confused during the first episode because of all of the different characters and storylines but since then have been able to gradually follow the story. Maybe my subconscious brain remembers more details than my conscious brain realizes.

And there is a Merlin connection with Sarah Parish as Lady Regan Hamleigh. (and a bit of a manipulative troll here, too..LOL) I kept thinking how familiar she looked and it took me awhile to figure it out.

Yes, I recognized Sarah right away but then I knew she was supposed to be in it so I was looking for her.
