“Nicholas Nickleby” starring Charlie Hunnam is a fairly decent adaptation of Charles Dickens’s novel, although a lot has been left out due to time constraints. Mini-series work much better to translate Dickens’s 800-900 pages long masterpieces to the screen.
Charlie Hunnam plays the 18 year old Nicholas, a young man …
