I loved this remake of the movie. this TV version delved much deeper into social issues (queerness and racism) that were glossed over in the movie (and I loved the movie). I sat down to watch one episode and stayed up until 5am after watching the entire season. A must see for anyone who loved the movie and who wants to see society represented as it really was for all types of minorities in the 1940s.
