9/10
fascinating and accurate

This may not really be a spoiler. However, the series seemed to end abruptly with no resolution. The setting and period are rich in detail. Characters and themes deserve the time for greater development. I would like to see this series returned and completed to its fullest.

I liked this series for the immersion into the mid-century era.

Costuming, interiors, protocols, family and professional life all seemed to be accurately presented. The visual presentation, the tone and pace have a convincing reality that moves me to fascination. The accuracy of this series is all believable.

Even with the setting in the UK, it evoked American culture of the 60's, too.

Human challenges and successes are portrayed with angst and with satisfaction. There is one scene of violence that I found disturbing. However, if the series were to be completed, that would give time for resolution. There is always the possibility that this period drama can evolve for decades.
