I am surprised at some reviewers complaining about it deviating from the original story because that is exactly what makes this so entertaining and appealing. Its a fresh adaptation of the classic story which offers a thoroughly engaging and entertaining rendition.
My whole family binge watched this, although we had started the first episode with low expectations and assuming it would be the same story retold a millionth time. After the first episode we were hooked. It was a great way for the family to get together and watch a story full of tense moments, twists and emotionally fulfilling drama. David tenant was brilliant as Phileas Fogg with a very convincing and relatable performance.
This was so good we were disappointed it ended so quickly in 8 episodes. We can always hope for a sequel as the chemistry between the three characters was brilliant and we can easily imagine them in more adventures.
