Sarah Lancashire embodies Julia Child. She's not doing an impression, although she is pitch perfect, but rather, she captures Julia's every nuance, and the iconic voice simply becomes a part of the character rather than constantly front and center. It's just there.
The writing is very good, and very adult, and they weave in the '60's backdrop in which it all takes place. Sometimes it borders on being a little too preachy, but it manages to get back onsides before drawing a flag. The colors, costuming, and the set, capture the look and feel of the 1960's.
Co-stars David Hyde Pierce (Paul Child) and Bebe Neuwirth (Avis) and both 'Frasier' alums, bring their estimable chops to the table, so it's not a one-woman show.
The supporting cast support and there aren't any glaring weaknesses or annoying characters.
