I definitely binge watched it, so it was good, but I can't say I absolutely loved it. It had so many lovely qualities that you hope for out of a period piece romantic drama. Hot people, nice scenery, good costumes, very accurately and realistically written characters, emotional nuance, but it had a few issues. With so many characters in only a 6 hour series, it never really feels like you get to know any of the characters experiences and thoughts intimately enough. You watch everything as an outside viewer and you might as well know as much about Charlotte as some random person at one of these balls who watches things play out. For how much it sucks for her, I don't empathize nearly as much as I would expect to. [spoiler] Enemies to lovers is a marvelous trope but Sidney's character is pretty much a shallow asshole from start to finish under the guise of familial duty; there is nothing redeeming about him. In fact, I'm glad she doesn't end up with him because I imagine if she did marry him, it would only be a few years before she has a couple babies, he gets caught up in gambling, addiction, whoring, and affairs but she's trapped with him and is absolutely fucking miserable. Good riddance.[/spoiler]
