Looks like something that might actually be worthwhile to watch.
The new one is darker than the original, i.e. not as brightly lit, especially at night. It is also much bloodier, as the old one was a TV miniseries, and back then TV shows did not show graphic levels of blood. Plus, the old one is filmed in 4:3, which is jarring if you haven't seen that in a while. Part 4 of the new one just dropped last night, and I have downloaded it, but haven't watched it yet.
Thanks for the details, but is it any good? Any woke shit so far?
So far just very little light woke stuff. One girl power scene, where the main actress starts fighting with a naginata (spear) which isn't necessarily unrealistic but they portrayed it a bit too girlpowerly to be entirely believable. Also several small "hurrdurrhurr europeans don't bath and are idiots when it comes to medicine" scenes.
So nothing major. Just a few jabs. Overall I quite like it even though the amount and quality of the CGI is at times a bit disappointing.
This was in the first mini-series as well.
It was also a major theme in the book.
