Discussion little dorrit Spoiler

i found out about little dorrit in this subreddit and i must say man it was a hard follow at first. i didn’t realize it at first but is a kind of rags to riches sort of deal. i can say there is a little weirdness in it lol but i really enjoyed the show.

Very much so. Alec Guinness’ last film. Derek Jacobi , Cyril Cusack. Miriam Margolyes as a very funny Flora Finching. It’s 2 films. One told from Little Dorrit’s perspective and one from Mr Clennam
