Should have cast a younger actress to play a stereotypical carefree jazz age flapper.
shareYeah...that's subjective and ageist... but you did confuse "to" with "too".....soooo....

I agree she isn't as good looking or vivacious we are meant to believe.
shareAgreed. The Miss Fisher of the books was in her late twenties, an age when she was getting tired of partying and thinking about what to do with her life, which is why she set up business as a private detective and started a long-term relationship. It's also an age at which dancing the Charleston and banging college boys isn't unseemly!
There's a pretty big difference between the mind of a person in their late twenties and their mid-forties now, and that difference was a hell of a lot bigger in the 1920s. In the 1920s, a woman in her mid-forties was probably a grandmother.
