I really don't get all the negative reviews. I thought this was some of the best TV I've ever seen. Great job by Lauren Ambrose, Toby. Kebbell. And Rupert Grint; absolutely towering outstanding performance by Nell Tiger Free, who should get about six Emmys. Solid writing, nice unhurried character development, good job of working with the fantasy premise (and we don't even really find out what that is until the end of Season 2). And really satisfying ending; right up there with one of the great series endings in history, which also featured Lauren Ambrose. I agree with the reviews that have criticized the CGI in the final episode, but it didn't bother me particularly. Absolutely PERFECT twist at the very end -- as one would expect from the guy who made "Sixth Sense," but in fact I didn't and it totally got me. I literally applauded.
Oh, and also, nice job integrating the high-end cooking stuff. I'm guessing someone involved in the development of this show was a Rex Stout fan.
