"Tom Jones: A Lighthearted Rom-Com Masterpiece Stealing Hearts on PBS"
The upcoming four-part miniseries "Tom Jones: Masterpiece" transforms Henry Fielding's novel into a romcom in which the female lead often outshines the male protagonist. The series focuses on the lighter, comedic moments and the sweeping love story, with memorable scenes featuring Lady Bellaston and Blifil. While the show contains themes of identity, class, and what it means to be a woman of the time, it is ultimately just another situational romcom in britches. "Tom Jones: Masterpiece" airs on PBS from April 30 to May 31.
