Could be interesting - the Mitfords were somewhat larger than life. James Purefoy is usually a decent actor though I wasn't struck on that Camelot show from about 13 years ago though he was killed off early in that. I called it Hammyrot.
ReplyDeleteIt was one of the worst shows ever, I think I gave up after the second episode or something like that.
DeleteI have never heard of this show...but if they were the Kardashians of the 1930s, then definitely not for me.
ReplyDeleteYou have, I wrote twice or thrice about it, last time two months ago when I announced the cast and you commented on it LOL
DeleteI just hope they don't show it just in BritBox, not reason enough to subscribe.
ReplyDeleteWhere else can it be, it is BritBox in USA, and UKTV in Britain.
DeleteThe family dynamics are all over the place with them it seems. So odd how each sister can go on such amazingly different paths from each other. I bet that made the holidays a real headache when they all got together.
ReplyDeleteYes, imagine a fascist and a communist in the same house.
