Overall, Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell is an exquisite series which I'm sure admirers of the book will adore. From the swarm of agitated ravens to the voluminous black tornado formed by Mr Strange himself, there is nothing to fault. The visuals are stunning and clearly the creators put a lot of money and effort into making them seem as realistic and jaw-dropping as possible. The other actors including Charlotte Riley, Alice Englert and Ariyon Bakare also give commendable performances. Bertie Carvel is excellent as the mysterious Jonathon Strange, Eddie Marsan fits the role of the reclusive Mr Norrell perfectly, and Marc Warren is exceptional as the malicious Gentleman. Speaking of the characters, they are superbly cast and believable. Although, it can be rather confusing for me at times. The plot itself is unpredictable with many compelling twists which result in massive impacts on each of the characters. Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell is a slightly glum, complex but ultimately intriguing drama about two magicians attempting to return magic to England.
