ReplyDeleteNot that much for a period set piece.
DeleteDoesn't look bad, but I don't think it's one I'll actively look for on streaming.
ReplyDeleteI do not like the lead for some reason, but would probably give it a go.
DeleteSpanish series is almost as bad as the French one...no, I take that back, it is worse.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is,but this is about cooking so we should give it a go.
DeleteHer hairdo bothers me also. Looks a little like that God awful Snow White movie hair.
DeleteSo glad Snow Brown flopped real hard this weekend lol
