I enjoyed Casanova, for the most part. It's just here and there that you kind of sit there going "Huh?" Mostly toward the end--though I was still almost in tears by the time it was over. I don't think that's got much to do with Rusty, though--I'd credit David Tennant, Laura Fraser, and Peter O'Toole with that one. It does border on being over the top in a few other places, too, but it's not too bad.
I've been hooked on DW for 20 years now, so the idea of it going downhill is literally painful. The morality of the show's always been quite consistent, until we got flaky mood-swings-on-a-dime!Ten, which is where my problem centrally lies. It got to where I'd watch each episode hoping that it would be the one without the "You won't thwart me!" egomania, and then it would inevitably appear and I'd be thinking "And....there it is. Sigh." I'd so hoped that the final scene with Harriet in TCI was a fluke (and I could deal with that if I'd thought he was right. But I don't). :(
