CGiii Comment

Well thank you Lord, Donsky's career has been less than prolific and there are no guesses as to why.

This is yet another re-working of Oliver Twist - Bill Sykes and Nancy are a gay S&M couple. That's all you need to know.

Read the book, at least Dickens knew how to tell a good story.

No evidence of that here.
