Watched episode 01.

Spoiler:

I honestly can say that even though this is a prime time show, I got a very fuzzy moe feeling inside me. The poor Cosette gets dumped by her mother at a complete strangers' house to look for a job. They basically made a deal with Fantine to buy themselves a personal slave for 7 Franks per month. That's just sad.
I was reading a bit on the Wikipedia page about the Les Misérables and I have to say that the overall story sounds very interesting, albeit it's a bit different than what the first episode showed us.

Spoiler for the original novel:

Fantine is apparently a prostitute. o_O

Anyway, I'm sad for this series, because it's good and I got the same feeling I had watching some episodes of The Great Detectives: Poirot & Marple (it must be the european environment), however I won't be able to watch it because 52 episodes is just a little bit too much for me. Also, I have to keep my otaku pride here.

You can get some screencaps and a detailed summary of episode 01 here.
