Tom Jones Preview

What is this trash???😂😂😂😂
So, the 1963 Tony Richardson movie is still the best adaptation of the Henry Fielding's novel

"You don't want to give your heart to a bad boy."
Ah. I see "diversity" means we also dumb down the dialog. Delightful.
Is there.. anywhere within.. a shred of Henry Fielding's masterpiece?

What do you like aWuthering Heights with a caribbean Heathcliff? Or a My Fair Lady with an indian Eliza?

Saw the blackwashing of the characters so will not be watching it.

hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...........

No match to the Tony Richardson film. Better yet: read the very long novel yourself; it is hilarious, especially the narrator.

Just channel surfed and came across this. Love it. Enjoyed it. I watched the Albert Finney version lots and this new masterpiece version will be a new favorite😊.

Tired of seeing these period dramas that ignore slavery by casting inclusive actors. In those times it would have been unheard to socialize or be seen with someone of color. This isn’t what historically happened the producers just seem the ignore the issue as though slavery never occurred in those times. Its totally wrong because the next generation will see this and think its accurate rather than read in books. You cant pretend that past didn’t happen and just throw in beautiful scenery and costumes like nothing to depict everything was grand which it wasn’t. You look at Roots and North & South that showed the real dark ugliness of humanity. Those miniseries were historically accurate. Slavery was no different than in North America or Europe it was a globally social disease to civilization. Ignoring it here is just tragic.

Don’t watch this girls the male interest cheats so many times on her. How is this supposed to be a romance ? The woman is such an talented actress though

I love this

When is the Malcom X movie coming out starring Christopher Bale?

i really dont like the modern interpretation of period drama which seems to be coming around more often, i so love it when it is period correct in clothing, the manner of the actors in the way they speak and conduct themselves so we can truly get a feel for the past, i will not be watching Tom Jones

Tom Jones is about a remarkably stupid Boy who cant keep it in his pants...

This has been the most chaotic love story ever🤣. Something went left with the skript. If you know u know.

Where is the full episode????
How can i watch it?

Don’t know about that version! I find it hard to surpass Albert Finney’s version. I will just stick to that.
I do not mind the actors race, but I really hate changing the characters’ personalities.

More woke crap I see

Black people are 3% of the British population today and 0% (rounded) in the 18th century. Why are they astronomically overrepresented in all forms of media?

If you want diversity in a period drama then write original stories but please leave these classics alone

Another woke production of how to ruin a English classic period drama.
It seems to be the norm lately casting black ethnic actors in Classic English period dramas.(that would never of happened in the 18th c.England)
Sorry but I will not be watching this woke production of a classic

🤣

Do yourselves a favour. Watch the 1997 BBC series with Max Beesley and Samanthan Morton. It's peerless and cannot be bettered.

why are folks so angry bout the race switching in some roles?? must they alwys be true to the original text ?

Race swapping at its finest. Congratulations, you've done it again.

As most BBC like dramas, this one is a little too sensual for me. Not sure why that’s such a big thing when the story itself is good enough to stand alone.

I fall in love for Tom Jones ✨😭😭💖

She’ll be married into her class. Pray tell what class is that?

The only black in the family we are supposed to take it seriously.

But loved the part where it a non binary tran strong empowered boss girl. Stunning and brave.

Bloody hell...its Wokerton mark 2. Was looking forward to this when it was anounced.....and now.....hmmm sigh

Here we go again, but at least it's a fictional story instead of a historical character. Henry Fielding would be sayin "What the ----?" in a 18th century manner. Queen Charlotte would be saying "At least it wasn't me this time", but she forgot about the new Netflix "Queen Charlotte, a Bridgerton Story."

Glad to see that this abomination bombed as hard as all the other recent woke "reimaginings"

When it goes woke it becomes a joke.

Black washing .disgusting.

It looks like they're ripped the comedy right out of it.

Blackwashing british history. What a load of rubbish 👎🏻

Great way to pretend that the atrocities of of past never happened, eh? Let’s all piss on the decades of struggle by Dr. King and millions of others by PRETENDING THEY NEVER HAPPENED!
The “Woke” lie to us all, and give a giant collective finger to the struggle for ACTUAL equity.

I love it! I expect to watch this new series in France.

🤗

There are quite a few stories where people of color truly got to enjoy the world of wealthier people and stories of the struggles of slavery that should be being done now instead of this crap. Uncle Tom's Cabin? The life of Shakespeare's Dark Lady? The life of Thomas Jefferson's love and his children with her needs re-telling. There are many more. And this is what you do? Pathetic.

Where do i watch this?

What a bland Tom Jones. The old Albert Finney version still has it.

Please stop.....

Thank god there is a stunning version of Fielding's novel done in film in1963. Fielding must be weeping in his grave at the liberties taken with his novel in this series.

Part of this reminds me of Belle the movie.

B1ack people were really around in this era of history. Yeah right.🤔

What is this bull***? Black women in Somerset then? With west country accents? Don't make me laugh.

here we go again

Um people are bothered by black people ACTING in a period drama ? Guys get a life already… if you want smthin historically accurate go watch a documentary. This IS FICTION. Truly pathetic.

Disgusting casting. The monkeys making these shows and movies always have to force their disgusting political propaganda onto everything they touch.

I think I'll read the book instead.

The insertion of black people into a period drama is historical revisionism of the worst sort. They have no history of their own so they have to insert themselves into ours. Try it the other way around, with, for example, Ryan Gosling playing MLK or Barrack Obama. The blue haired, guardian reading, woke mob would be screeching into their hummus "cultural appropriation". What culture? Mud huts, spear throwing and tribalism. When the pendulum swings in the correct direction, this utter sh1te will be consigned to the wheelie bin of history, which is where it belongs
