This limited series is hard to define. It is filled with eccentric characters and the beginning episode tends to be a confusing, nonlinear mess but the success of this production rests on anchoring yourself with first Linda (Lily James) and then Fanny (Emily Beecham). Each episode is better and more solid than the first, and my ratings reflected that - 6 (fair) E1; 7 (good) E2; 9 (moving) E3, and it is hard not to grade the whole on the merits of the last. I’m not sure this series would have succeeded were it not for the innocence Lily James brought to her role and the stability Emily Beecham brought to hers. These performances allowed their characters to rise above the caricatures of those around them. I’m going to give this series an 8 (great) out of 10, but you may have to work at it to get to the heart of it. [1930s Period Drama]

It lost me when it started in with modern music.

A delight. Unlike some period pieces, this one is fast-paced with touches of modern humour, framing, and music. Highly recommend and would watch again.

enjoyable, and added bonus the hot priest was in it (though sadly not as a priest, but still hot)

Delightful little show. Not to be missed.
