Press Reviews
The sex scenes are dynamite
Respect to Channel 4 for a great drama…a joy to watch
It was good enough to bludgeon you with a breathless adjectival pile-up... rapturous to look at thanks to the most handsome collection of actors in living memory and some evanescent photography, it was elegantly acted… brilliantly written…the whole three hour confection topped off with a whirling whipped-cream dream of a soundtrack … one of the year’s most memorable dramas.
Glamorous and romantic,…it had all the authentic energy and passion of a contemporary
