Clodagh and Ruth are the roles to play here, and Arterton and Franciosi embody them beautifully.

It is succinct and well-told in the three hour-long episodes... But there are characters and themes that certainly could have benefited from intelligent expansion.

As a cross between Sofia Coppola's version of "The Beguiled" and Martin Scorsese's "Silence," "Black Narcissus" works, but anyone craving legitimate spookiness should look elsewhere.

Too long to be a movie and too short to satisfy as a miniseries, this "Black Narcissus" dabbles in being all of the above, and, alas, doesn't fully succeed at any of them. But it doesn't deserve a thumbs-down review, either.

Although everything is presented more directly than it was in the discreet 1940s, the repressed emotions, as well as their outbursts, fail to stir blood as effectively.

"Black Narcissus" is a beautiful production but its melancholic tone is a hard sell to keep audiences sustained over three episodes.

The result is visually beautiful. The series is solidly acted, occasionally expansive and never something I would ever choose to watch again rather than just checking in on the old friend that is the 1947 film.
