Good Period Piece Show


Nice surprise in these days of reality junk shows. Scripted dramas are few and far between especially a good one. I have turned to CDC and BBC to find new treasures such as Murdoch Mysteries, Game Of Thrones, MI-5 and Line Of Duty. Have enjoyed the first few episodes and I hope this show will only get better and be around for awhile.

I find it mediocre. The writing in particular is uninspired. Some of the acting is quite wooden. Hugh Dillon does his one-note schtick, continuing to be inauthentic saying or doing anything. I had hoped for better, but I'm not feeling engaged. I don't care what happens to any of the characters other than Alfred. Which is not enough for me.
