Profile of The Way We Live Now

The mood of The Way We Live Now is biting and witty. The plot centers around intrigues, the working class, and social decay. It is a drama, romance, and period TV show. Stylistically, The Way We Live Now is a mini-series. In approach, it is serious and realistic. The setting is England. The Way We Live Now happens in the Victorian era. It is based on a book.

Summary of The Way We Live Now

An economic boom is sweeping through 1870s Europe. Still, Melmotte (David Suchet) is being forced to leave Vienna due to yet another financial scandal in this scoundrel's long list of fiduciary disasters. Melmotte decides to stay, though, and stirs up trouble with people who despise all about him except his bankroll. Suchet is devilishly delightful in this adaptation of Anthony Trollope's classic novel. This mini-series of corruption and deceit was adapted by Andrew Davies, who previously adapted PRIDE AND PREJUDICE for the A&E Network. Broadcast during a worldwide financial down slide, Trollope's cautionary tale of counting chickens before they hatch resonated strongly during its British broadcast.

The entire series is about people making really dumb decisions and following through with even dumber actions. There are really only two likable characters and their path through the story has plenty of signs to make sure you don't ever have a shred... Read and rate it
