At this point - I am just hate watching the series. I keep hoping it will get better… but alas. These characters have zero chemistry.. The lead couldn’t act her way out of a shoe.

The lead couldn’t act her way out of a shoe. Mrs. Russel is the only interesting character in the show. I’d probably enjoy it if it focused on her and her husbands story. Costume and design - A+

The show doesn’t even try to get you to care about the side cast. They just shove random story lines at you without warning. They try to make them emotional - but when we’ve seen these characters for maybe 5 minutes screen time, I couldn’t care less.… Expand

This show is horrible. It’s just terrible, wooden acting, bad casting, and absolutely no character chemistry. There isn’t one character that you want to cheer on or even like. Baranski is a poor rendition of Maggie Smith. The writing isThis show is horrible. It’s just terrible, wooden acting, bad casting, and absolutely no character chemistry.

Now that we have got that out of the way, this show is painfully hard to watch. The acting of most of the characters is bad, like a high school production of fiddler on the roof bad. It feels very forced, and like they just expect a period piece with maids to hit as Downton Abby did, this doesn't. It's a very slow burn, boring, and when they don't have good acting to back up the pace it falls very flat on its 1900's face. The set design and costumes are magnificent, which I expected for an HBO piece, however, this show is just boring, dull, and full of mundane actors who don't know how to work with the slow, clunky, conversations in the script. Honestly would be SHOCKED to see this show stick around. Do yourself a favor and watch anything else.… Expand
