Not a single actor delivered dialogue naturally. Every character spoke in an oddly stiff and wooden manner. They all sounded like non-Americans, often non English speakers, trying (without any real desire) to sound American. It was like a bad SNL skit poking fun at the rigid, stodgy formality of the Victorian era. Utterly unwatchable. Not sure if it was the actors, the direction or the dialog, probably a combination of all. It was as if there was absolutely no direction and the first take was used- no editing or reshoots art all. Two stars for the attention to detail in the costumes, sets and hair/makeup.
