The opening scene with what looked like a bad CGI background almost made me give this show up. Yet I was in a mood for a British period show so I did not. What followed was a sweet, nice show, even somewhat engaging, yet as the same time completely devoid of substance.
For most part, the actors did deliver what they had to deliver but there wasn't much for them to deliver in a show full of cardboard cutouts.
The show basically has no spirit, no message, just some nice locations, pleasant cinematography, tidy people and a story we have seen too many times. I now want to read the novel and see for myself whether the novel is also so shallow.
