This is truly a great period piece and very well done. Beautiful costuming, scenery, and acting. A great pleasure to watch.

2.0 out of 5 stars could not get through 1st episode, November 30, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vanity Fair (Amazon Instant Video)
I tried to watch this series, but could not get past the first episode. I found the acting to be quite contrived (that is the point in the novel) but I could not get past the shallow characters. Maybe fans of the novel would fare better.
