Wow! This reminds us that TV-Series can be serious, high quality undertakings. It was pure joy to watch both seasons of this series and left me wanting for more.
Even though in it's essence this is, simply put, pure escapist entertainment, it is so well done that it transcends the stereotypes and becomes something much more. Similarly to "Fleming (2014)" which I reviewed some time ago, almost everything in this production is very well done, the Direction, the script, the performances, set decoration, costumes, camera, etc. Yet another wonderful production of the BBC (about the BBC, curiously enough), one of many in a long-standing tradition of excellence.
