I only got as far as the third episode before I had to check IMDB for a list of the writers. The dialogue sparkles brilliantly, like the gleam of a drop of water in a rainbow.. The acting is also quite good (and therefore the casting is, as well as the direction). There is very little avoidance; the writers tackle every scene that arises without feeling a need to have things happen backstage. The secondary and tertiary characters are fleshed out enough that one never feels insulted on their behalf. Stylish, adequately credible, and enjoyable. A slower pace for today's frenetic world. I'm actually surprised that the show was made, but happy about it.
