Certainly better than the film starring Anne Hathaway. And if it can be possible to be better than the book it is adapted from -then this miniseries is. Somehow this adaptation.does justice to the.beautiful writing of David Nicholls through the script and the delivery of dialogue from the lead actors Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall with an equally talented supporting cast.including Eleanor Tomlinson and Joely Richardson. The first couple of episodes are slow and the casting of Emma as a girl of Asian origin is a deviation to get used to. However, around episode 4 the story has gained momentum and Ambika owns the part of Emma. I had to binge watch the whole series and it left me emotionally exhausted. One of the best, if not the best drama I have enjoyed this century.
