The fine detail , the time given to a glimpse of everyday life on the estate , gentle period and period style music , sweeping landscapes photographed from the ground ....... and superb acting to go with it . Parker , Baeza and the rest of the cast shine so much brighter than the principals in the big 2015 movie ; there is nothing in the least contrived in any of the scenes . Treat yourself to this , whether you've seen the latest version of not , especially if yo enjoy the gradual unfolding of a great novel , instead of a truncated version . You won't be disappointed .
