The 1st episode left me totally disappointed. I normally love this type of period drama but unfortunately not this time. I patiently sat waiting for the story line to pick up or at least start to give me an idea of what was to follow but was left sadly empty. The dialogue left me wondering what it was I was actually listening to. Was it actually scripted or were they given brief story line and given the opportunity to AdLib as they went along. I can't say I know the language of the 18th century but was so much swearing really necessary ? All in all, I was left empty and wondering if I should waste time watching anymore. I look forward to someone suggesting the second episode and onwards actually picked it up from the first.
