Featured review
A great binge watch - 'Eastenders' in cosplay
The costumes and context are gloriously detailed and accurate, from the filthiness of 18th century life in general to the cosmopolitan societies of port cities like London. The costumes and settings are based on 18th century 'real' examples, which for me gives the series a hallmark of quality. The dilemma of how people would have spoken and behaved is avoided by giving the characters 21st century reactions to 18th century situations. So you can choose to be a geeky historian, and look for the bits to criticise, or just sit back and enjoy it. The screenplay seems to slip rather in series three which involved so many doors being knocked on in one episode that I got dizzy.
