Jane Eyre: Miscasting?

has anyone been watching this? i caught last night's episode, and found it fairly enjoyable, but i think that Toby Stephens, whilst gorgeous, really does not fit the character of Mr Rochester at all, what is he doing? i don't think he knows....

what do you guys think?

He seemed to be doing an impression of Hugh Grant playing Rochester, which was fairly amusing, but just plain wrong! - Not my idea of Rochester anyway - and I just re-read it a couple of weeks ago, so had really been looking forward to a new series.

agree with both of you! also have been thinking that he may have been using the cap'n Jack Sparrow acting method, which is all well and good in it's place, doesn't really work here...

Yes, the Hugh Grant impression, he's being far too much of a 'dandy' and that is the opposite of what Rochester is supposed to be.. :(
