IT’S BEEN A while since PBS’s Masterpiece has lived up to its billing by tackling, or revisiting, a true literary classic. (Overextending Jane Austen’s unfinished novel Sanditon doesn’t count.)
So while Henry Fielding’s 18th century coming-of-age tome retains some mild shock value in its frisky particulars, costume-drama comfort zone.
