I read and enjoyed the book some time ago and thought that this interpretation was superb and faultless.
This has some of the best acting I have seen for ages. Compelling storyline. Nicole Kidman at her very best as a wife is a conflicted relationship.
Didn't know what to expect but thoroughly enjoyed this drama, kind of like Desperate Housewives with added violence. The cast are uniformly good, especially Nicole Kidman and Reece Witherspoon. The script is also quite funny in places and it keeps you gripped from the very first episode.
