    Storyline

    • Goofs
      The factory where Fantine works has electric lights (the forewoman specifically says that if Fantine works late, the cost of electricity to keep the lights on will come out of her wages, making any overtime pay meaningless). That part of the story is set in 1820. Electricity was not introduced in France until 1881, and even then its spread was very slow, starting in major cities.

    Unbelievable... A clear 10
    Of course im a french but for the rules of IMDB i have to speak english.

    What an episode/ film, im used to watch Netflix disney and all the us show that I love so much. And i nearly forget that we have a few ( yes only a few) masterpiece of our own. In comedy movies french are the best, but in drama TV shows quite Bad.

    But man, " Les Misérables" with the great Depardieu is an amazing 6h movie ( or 4 episode show) The first one end with a rating of 9.75/10 for me, a near perfect 90 minutes. The acting was superb, plot from Victor Hugo imself is of course awesome.

    What a great part 1.
