The opening episode covers Valjean's release from the Bagne of Toulon and his transformation at the hands of the Bishop of Digne. Davies's script wastes no time on preamble; the moral argument that will drive six episodes is established in the first hour with precision. Dominic West's performance is immediately commanding.
Full episode review →The finale brings the June Rebellion, Valjean's final reckoning with Javert, and the resolution of every character arc Davies has constructed across six episodes. The Telegraph noted that West 'steals the show in a stirring finale,' and the production honours Hugo's ending without the musical's consolations.
