feels like cheap tv movie
it has clunky exposition dialogue as if it’s assuming the viewer is 15 and knows nothing of history whatsoever. it’s lit like a supermarket in the pubs and victorian streets and homes. the costumes all look brand new. very disappointed considering i bought this because others gave it good reviews. it has an A list cast but it’s completely wasted on these poor production values and milquetoast script. it also looks like it was filmed on 4:3 format cameras and then just magnified to fit widescreen tvs. everyone looks like they have 70s shampoo’d hair. i lasted 45 mins. i just didn’t care enough to waste another minute on it tbh.
