The Pillars of the Earth on Showtime

I was wrong. The first episode was a bit murky, so many different plotlines to introduce. Overall though after watching the full 8 hours I have to give this a strong rating. It was a good story, the characters were well drawn out and this was enjoyable. I think Waleren the priest was played to dastardliness in the extreme. My only question was what happened to Tom' son who was living in the monastary after Tom died.
