I loved this book when I read it a few yers ago. When I heard it was being made into a series, I couldn't wait for it to come out. It DOES NOT disappoint. For those giving this low marks, you must remember the family was all about appearances. Wooden displays of emotion are spot on. As the sisters tiptoe around their political explorations, i would be shocked if their portrays were anything more than this. The production design is exquisite. I can feel the threadbare clothing. It's all a facade after losing the family fortune, yet they carry on as if society expects them to, while it's far from reality. All of the characters are great. Nancy, Diana, and Unity are spot on. I'd love to see more of the other 3 girls and more of Tom's journey. Toby Regbo needs a better platform. He's underrated. The sound track is perfection. No, it's not typical 1930s Cole Porter, but the percussion heavy background is delightful - mirroring the pulse of the times leading up to this horrible war. Highly recommend!
