Bleak House (Masterpiece adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel)

Yet another period commentary. Most interesting in this story is Dickens' depiction of the legal system in Britain at the time and gives insight as to what our current legalities have evolved from. For instance, I thought it was very fascinating that when a person dies, an independent "jury" is gathered to collectively declare a cause of death.

It was nice to see Gillian Anderson on screen again.
