I have seen reviews full of praise for an earlier series of the same story, which reviews state it is better than this version. I have enjoyed the 2002-2003 series so much that I have ordered the DVD set of the earlier one so I can make my own mind up.
In the 2002-2003 three version I think that both series one and two were very enjoyable although I preferred the first season, which I think was cast a little better than the second.
It is a very good story with great distinct characters and themes including love, loss, loyalty, obsession, power, wealth, infidelity and morality. There is drama which at times can be pretty dark but also there is mirth with levity and some less serious entertaining characters.
