3 thoughts on “Miniseries Worth Watching: The Jewel in the Crown (1984)

  1. I saw the original run when I was just out of college, then re-watched it this winter. Absorbing, and, yes, definitely from the British point of view (though not unsympathetic). I’m curious as to how different the upcoming “Indian Summers” will be. It is wonderful to have 14 episodes! I haven’t read the books (the 4 novels of “The Raj Quartet”), but I assume that the large narrative shifts probably arise from the shifts between the books, and that 14 episodes does them justice in a way that fewer could not.

    1. I haven’t read the books either, but yes, I believe the narrative shifts are due to combining multiple books into one series.
