About
You may like this if you’re in the mood for a dark, adult period drama with uneasy relationships and class tension, somewhat in the vein of Farewell, My Queen or Lady J; Not for you if you want warmth or a tidy payoff.
Pros: strong lead performance; rich period atmosphere; intriguing setup | Cons: very bleak tone; uneven character motives; abrupt ending
