Query: Lowering of the bar

Nicely filmed. Poorly acted. Poorly cast. Poorly written. This is a story which takes a proud genre, the British period piece, and makes it just pedestrian enough, and just inane enough to appeal to the modern mass market, even in America. It has all of the salaciousness and sliminess of a modern soap opera and little else to mitigate this unfortunate nature, other than the nice interior home shots and posh British accents. The bar has been lowered to meet the modern taste as is so often the case in modern media.
