I knew nothing about this series when I discovered it on Netflix. The first episode intrigued & charmed me enough to keep watching the entire series.
Based on a real story, this is not a typical period piece. Each episode gets richer in both content & style, with each of the characters developing their own interesting & unexpected story. Gemma Jones is magnificent as Louisa Trotter, but by the end of Series 2, all the other regular characters had found a place in my heart also, including the new 'Fred'! I was sad watching the final episode knowing it would be my last glimpse into the wonderful life at the Bentick & its colorful residents and guests. One surprise was how tantalizing all the food was to look at. Not something you see very often in TV shows or even feature films.
The care that was put into such details was evident in every episode. TV shows of this quality and style are truly rare.
Here's to more from its creators...
