| Agreed, and I was hanging on before I gave up just to geek out over the fact that the distinction between American Victorian style vs. the Beaux Arts style was a major plot point. I liked seeing Carrie Coon up close in a big role after liking her very much as Honey on stage. But the New York it was claiming existed did not seem real at all. From what I've read, aside from Edith Wharton, New York wasn't Boston or Philadelphia where a more established social order was comfortably ensconsed. It was a much more sketchy civic order with a lot of poverty, crime, and governmental corruption. And the pilot's take on racial relations seemed to be pulling in two different directions at once between giving a grim account of the realities of the time vs. a kind of Cinderella narrative of empowerment. |
