did either of you read the book that this miniseries is based on? If so, you’d understand Laura Linney’s Abigail
What is so rich about this miniseries is a deliberate effort to insulate the main characters from modern Hollywood embellishments. Rather than being the clever, heroic feminist, Abigail is reserved, forlorn when she doesn’t hear from her husband; hesitant to intrude on business matters; a bit awkward at love-making; sensibly offended by the sensual familiarity of Paris. This is no Demi Moore in 18th Century costume.
