I have watched the first two episodes and am trying to think why this isnt working for me. All the ingredients are there. I think the problem might be the pacing. Things go so fast that we don't get to enjoy the sets and costumes etc. And even worse they have made the main character become almost manic. It doesn't fit with the period this is supposed to be. Even if she being rich is protected from the effects of being hyper and eccentric in a way a regular person wouldn't be. But what is lost is any kind of atmosphere. The 40s are chosen on purpose to evoke a certain feeling a certain atmosphere. The main character cannot be as high energy as a modern character.
I'm not sure I will continue watching. I gave it only a 6 as a 7 means I am glad I watched it but wouldnt buy or keep a copy . (Just to give you some context.) But I am not sure I am getting anything out of this. Too bad!
