  Very good viewing!
  
  This is a very good drama spoilt only by the ending! This actually put me off wanting to watch it again.

  Costume heaven
  
  Slow to get going, but bear with it and the 2nd episode is much better. The acting is mostly good, but the costumes/fashions are the stars

  There is more to this story than I remember. This is one for you if you enjoy the era of Art Deco and the fashion of the day!
