I agree. In turning it into a miniseries they were at least able to concentrate and expand on things the movie couldn't. It's always gonna be difficult when someone's already given such an iconic performance but to Haynes' credit he never even tried to compete on that level. Saying that, while I generally like Kate Winslet I do think she was wrong in that role. Not just cos she wasn't Crawford, it needed someone like ... I dunno ... I was about to say Julianne Moore ... but that'd be me falling into the very trap Haynes did well to avoid, by not trying to find an equivalent to Crawford. Still, Winslet never quite worked for me.
