This was an OK adaptation, with Romola Garai playing a difficult role as the naïve, spoiled, financially strapped woman who rejects a lower-class job as a governess. She falls for the bling in a wealthy predator, yet is attracted to the far more sensitive Daniel Deronda (her husband's hubris, though, leads him to an unfortunate smoke break). From the viewpoint of today's diverse culture, it's odd to see that being Jewish was once considered a possible bar to "high society."
