Eleanor Catton adapts her Man Booker Prize-winning novel about love, murder and gold-digging in 19th-century New Zealand as a six-part Starz miniseries.
"It's always a joy watching Green play this sort of master manipulator; few actors convey being several steps ahead of everybody else on-screen as vividly. Plus, she gets to perform a seance that plays like an homage to her role in Penny Dreadful, a harrowing turn that should have won her at least one Emmy. And she brings out some depth in Csokas, prone to hammy villains but occasionally sympathetic here."
