Gemma Arterton shines brightly. Most of the show is wonderful. I was underwhelmed with bits here and there. Yes, it successfully illustrated the non-woke mentality of society 50+ years ago. The show is a peculiar blend of lightweight fluff and drama. Sometimes I wished it was more comedic or more dramatic. As I said, a peculiar blend. There are dramatic scenes and I didn't feel that level of drama carried through from scene to scene. Likewise there were comedic scenes that were rather slight. In fact most of the comedy was regulated to the sit-com segments itself. Again, I wasn't sure the dramatic aspects really punched through enough to glue it all together. A pleasant baby boomer, pop culture romp but I'm hesitant to commit to watching a season 2.
