YOU JUST HAD TO F THIS UP TOO, DIDN'T YOU? CAP E FEAR TYRNED INTO THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL. WHAT A DISGRACE AND INSULT TO HUMANITY. RATE 0/10

After watching the first episode and first hslf of 2nd episode, I concluded that watching this mini series is just insulting the quality value of the original. It's useless to renew a film is you are just updating the old story with the same but newer actors. Another wasted money from Hollywood's lack of creative idea.

I can fix Javier Bardem!
