I am confused as to what people watched and what they expected. The serpent was really not the main issue and I never thought it was presented that way. It was about people. The townspeople, the vicar, the londoners...each person had a story. It dealt with their beliefs and fears and hopes and loves and ambitions. It could have been more detailed but, that would have been a series. A good story was told in the mini series. Acting was fabulous. Tom Hiddleston and the actor playing the doctor were top notch. Claire Danes was decent but, that hair color was distracting. I loved the way it dealt with superstition and fear and what it will do to people. I loved the way the women longed to have purpose. Most of all...how humanity is so complex. Can you love more than one person? Can you love God will all your heart and still be flawed? Can we love each other in spite of flaws? An amazing story. It contained so much to think about.
