Add a CommentThis series is not sure what it is, a romance, murder mystery or war story. One thing you can be sure of is it is bad. The fashion is beautiful but the bad acting can't make up for it. You can not set a film in Paris on fashion and have a staff full of heavy English accents, it blows the setting. All around someone had a lot of money to waste in making this bad film series.
I was hooked from the first episode- hints of all the secrets, post-war appreciation for beauty, different morals of the time - all make this worth watching.
All British actors speaking English playing the French roles, that's bad. Frances de la Tour looks and sounds grotesque. I am very surprised that PBS would put their name to something this bad. Only managed to watch almost one episode.
