I’ve watched one of three episodes so far. I was disappointed and meant to take the other disks off my Netflix queue, but I didn’t get around to it, and so the second disk arrived. Since it’s here, I guess I’ll give it another chance.

I like Richard E. Grant, and the sets and costumes and casting are all good. But it’s just not as amusing and interesting as the Anthony Andrews version I saw as a kid (and watched again recently). Grant’s Sir Percy is a good swashbuckler, but he isn’t a convincing fop, so it’s like half the story is missing. He couldn’t fool the bad guys for even twenty minutes; where’s the fun in that?
