After a bleak reimagining of "A Christmas Carol" in 2019, Steven Knight ("Peaky Blinders") is back to give another Charles Dickens tale, "Great Expectations," similar treatment, with equally grim results. While the underlying story is better suited to such tinkering, even Olivia Colman's toothy performance can't salvage this six-part production, meaning viewers should set their expectations accordingly.

Inflation comes in many forms, including the running-time bloat that can afflict sequels. Hence the economical 90-some-odd minutes of "John Wick" becomes 2 hours and 49 minutes in "John Wick: Chapter 4," a more-is-less epic that showcases the dazzling stunt work for which the franchise is known while piling on the action to near-exhausting extremes.
