    Hoult is very funny at portraying these things at once, although – rather like a toddler – his behaviour can become wearing. Writer Tony McNamara falls back on sexual references and swearing a bit too often. Catherine’s character, though, is a bit of a void. Fanning looks very lovely in a succession of fabulous costumes, but it’s hard to discern what is going on inside her head.

    Come on, it literally says in the beginning of every episode "A Sometimes True Story."

    I mean let's think a little bit here, when you read    Come on, it literally says in the beginning of every episode "A Sometimes True Story."

    I mean let's think a little bit here, when you read that, why would you be expecting documentary like accuracy?
