About
If you like tense period dramas with forbidden romance and a fiercely oppressive home life, you may enjoy Lizzie; Not for you if you want a fast, mystery-driven whodunit or prefer strict historical accuracy, like Colette or Charlie Says.
Pros: superb leading performances; intense atmosphere; engaging slow tension | Cons: slow pacing; wasted supporting cast; speculative, divisive story
