Why Watch:
A deep dive into how David Tennant and France 2 reimagined Jules Verne for the 21st century.Series Analysis:
The 2021 adaptation of Around the World in 80 Days redefined the Jules Verne classic for a modern audience. By casting David Tennant as a vulnerable, emotionally scarred Phileas Fogg, the series humanized a character often portrayed as a mere clockwork eccentric. Its legacy lies in its bold decision to address systemic inequality and the harsh realities of the British Empire, transforming a simple race against time into a journey of internal growth. The inclusion of Abigail Fix as a pioneering journalist added a necessary feminist perspective that challenged the original text’s limitations. Though the journey has concluded, its impact on the genre of historical adventure remains significant.
