Variety review of Pillars of the Earth

Variety has given an excellent review of Pillars of the Earth.  Here is a choice excerpt:

"...Starz's acquisition of "The Pillars of the Earth" -- an eight-hour adaptation of Ken Follett's massive novel -- is another shrewd programming move, overflowing with prestigious British talent and a lusty story tailored to the pay-TV palate. Dealing with the building of a cathedral against a backdrop of royal succession in 12th-century England, "Pillars" doles out bloody battles, melodrama, illicit sex, rape, incest and revenge -- in short, everything people expect from their premium channels, all in one six-installment package."

Chicago Sun Times Review of Pillars of the Earth

This review was posted on IMDb but the link isn't working. From the Chicago Sun Times:

3 1/2 stars

"Watch for Matthew Macfadyen in the tricky role of Prior Philip. Rolling his R’s and rocking a monk’s bald spot, the former Mr. Darcy (opposite Keira Knightley) manages to balance idealism, intelligence, faith and savvy. “The Pillars of the Earth” doesn’t shy away from any of the big questions, and Macfadyen has the depth to ask the biggest of them all: Just whose side is God on, anyway?"
