I wanted to like it more than I did. The concept is great: the untold story of the daughter of an infamous mad scientist. The execution is not what I expected: a love triangle of sorts, and an adaptation of a classic that misses the "feel" of the original. I could have forgiven the all-too-Victorian weaknesses of our heroine if it hadn't been for the totally unnecessary "romance" idiocy that she refused to own, that seemed to serve as a way to remove even more of her agency than historical accuracy had already taken away. The twist ending did serve to salvage some of my initial optimism for the story. But all in all, not my cup of tea.
