6.5 hours- 2026-PBS Distribution
My sixteen-year-old recently read The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas for English class. I was thrilled when this mini-series was produced and made available right after he finished reading the novel.
According to my son, the mini-series follows the book's storyline pretty well. Our whole family enjoyed it, especially my husband. The acting, the scenery, the music, the filming-everything was superb. The story lends itself to great discussions.
*Highly recommend for high school & older.
Warnings/discuss: revenge, murder, jealousy, two young ladies seem to be in a romantic relationship (one scene they are caught kissing by another character)-my son said this relationship was hinted at in the book but not so explicit.
-Borrowed from the library.
