British movies and tv have a special something that cannot be replicated by any other country. This series is beyond disappointing and a total embarrassment in every scene. The diaglogue, characters, locations, and general feel of this mish mash is just tragic. Julianne Moore is far too American to get the rythym and nuances of an English noblewoman and simply does not fit the part. George and his brothers and in particular, the french teacher in the first episode are obviously newcomers to acting. There is absolutely nothing in this series that makes for amusement or even shock value because of the subject matter. Compare this drivel with Gunpowder, Treason and Plot, for instance, to see how this type of subject should be handled.
