On How Tom Stoppard Solves A Problem Like 'Parade's End'
@My Number Is My Address I liked it. I haven't read the book, but I thought it was very funny, as well as very clear that we were supposed to hold Tietjens responsible for his situation. The prevailing impression was that his moral code and eighteenth-century-ness was admirable and ludicrous at the same time. Agree with this article that the last ep was poor, though. Don't think the whole thing was brilliant, but solidly good. Hall and Duff were great.
