Pip and Jaggers face ruin as their business venture is affected by a great storm. Compeyson is back in The Village, a final encounter with Magwitch seems inevitable.
It's the ending of the series I was expecting, visually stunning, gloriously acted, but ultimately as dull as dishwater, it's quite hard to fathom how on Earth such a rich script is turned into something so bland. I had a feeling that Knight would take liberties with the ending.
The eternal scene between Pip and Estella was worthy of a coffee commercial, will they or won't they, in the end I genuinely didn't care, I half expected Steven Knight's script to begin with a Pip and Estella wedding.
I had genuinely forgotten about that opening sequence in episode one, we learn the circumstances, how and why Pip ended up on that bridge.
The acting was a real triumph, Colman and Thomas shone through once again, but I'll be honest I really did enjoy Fionn Whitehead's Pop, he was very good in all fairness here.
Do yourself a favour, watch either the 2011 or even better the 1989 adaptation, both are superior to this somewhat dreary adaptation.
5/10.
