Watching the first episode of Dickensian was a bit like watching a video for one of those all-star pop songs. Oh look, it's him! Wait, who is that? Man, they got old! Did they really just get this one line?
This Dickens mash-up takes characters from his various novels and has them interact. Ideally this would have created a unique, Dikensian London, but the various parts feel far from seamless and so many characters are introduced that even when you already know them you don't have time to get a feel for them within the narrative.
It just feels like the show bit off more than it could chew. I gave up after that one episode.
