About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a mid-century, soapy drama about wealth, ambition, and messy relationships, with plenty of glamour; not for you if you need tight pacing or deeply likable characters, and it may remind you of Valley of the Dolls.
Pros: strong lead performances; glossy period glamour; juicy adult drama | Cons: overlong and uneven; cliched melodrama beats; emotionally distant at times
