‘A Tale of Two Cities’ Review: Kit Harington Has Done Far, Far Better Things Than This Bland MGM+ Dickens Adaptation

Kit Harington and François Civil star in a new four-episode adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens novel 'A Tale of Two Cities', broadcast on the MGM+ network. In this version of the story, the two actors' characters compete for the affections of Mirren Mack.

Reviews for the adaptation, however, have been critical. Reviewers have described the project as a bland take on the classic text, suggesting that Harington has previously delivered much stronger work in his career.
