I just finished watching the mini-series The Pillars of the Earth based on the book by the same name. The show first ran on Starz and is now on Netflix streaming. I really enjoyed the mini-series. I would highly recommend it. It has all of the elements in films that I like. It's a period piece set in Medieval times. It's about architecture - the building of a gothic cathedral. There is intrigue and mystery. There are secrets that get revealed over the course of the story. There are heroes, heorines, and lots of bad villians. There are love triangles and broken hearts. There are lots of sword fights and plenty of battle scenes. There is much debate and dialogue about faith and and Christian tradition. The story is a roller coaster that kept me wondering if the cathedral would be finished, if good would prevail, and who would have leadership and power in the end.
I think I am going to have to now read the book that the mini-series is based on. It has really intrigued me. I hope that the book is as good or even better than the television show.
Today has been a good day off from work. I managed to get some tasks done that I have been putting off for quite some time. I also was able to rest and relax.
It's back to work tomorrow. It looks like it will be a busy week. Thanks for being a part of my journey!
