It belongs to that type of production that adapts without adapting, that modernizes what doesn't need to be modernized and that sexualizes what has a subtle and enigmatic approach, as if translating a classic text would mean underestimating its value. In the middle of the season Knight gets tired of Dickens and readapts his "Taboo" show, building a new plot more conventional than the original. At least Olivia Colman gives Miss Havisham the right touch of tragic pathos, but Pip and Estella are bland characters. For Steven Knight, modernizing Charles Dickens consists in considering the audience idiots.
