Wow, after watching the trailer and reading your review, I really want to see it. I got quite a surprise when I saw the full-length photograph of Emma Harte. My mother had an outfit that looked almost exactly the same in her wardrobe, and for a moment it really made my heart skip a beat. Anyway, I hope I can find a way to watch it over here.
ReplyDeleteA big hug and my very best wishes.
I really liked it, it was very engaging, I haven't enjoyed a series as much as I did this one in a long time. The cast is lovely too. It looks like Pierre Cardin female suit costume to me, he used to use that fabric. I think my own mother had it as well but in beige LOL
DeleteI really like the images and costumes!
ReplyDeleteThe costumes were lovely in the series.
DeleteMe gustaría verla. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGracias
DeleteIs this a historical series, Dezmond? I enjoy watching historical series.
ReplyDeleteAbout 95% of it is set at the beginning of the century and the rest in the 70s when she is old and success and remembers the youth.
DeleteThis does look really good. I'll keep my eyes peeled for it this month.
ReplyDeleteIt was probably the series I enjoyed most this year so far.
