Season 1 Review:
The series has captured the look and feel of the abbey and its inhabitants very well, and it has a lot of dialogue that’s taken directly from the novel. But never fear, it also does the novel one better by adding a bunch of stuff. Like an Arya Stark character. And a love story.

Season 1 Review:
Turturro, who is credited not only as an executive producer but one of the miniseries’ four writers, gives one of the most restrained performances of his career. His cleric is soft-spoken, always watchful of every detail in a room. His efforts seem to give other performers license to overact.

Season 1 Review:
Where the adaptation follows the original text, it does so generally well, finding the salient points in pages of discussions. The sensational interpolations — the "Game of Thrones" stuff — are less successful, though I am sure they will please a substantial portion of the crowd. And while Turturro's performance is a model of intelligent equanimity, other actors — including Emerson as the abbey's abbot, Stefano Fresi as the Caliban-Quasimodo figure Salvatore, and Fabrizio Bentivoglio as Remigio, a monk with a dark past — push their parts to the edge of the parapet and sometimes over. The more intense the action, the more risible the series becomes.
