Iโm a huge Masterpiece fan but this is a big duh. What it has is colorful sets, amazing costumes. The story line and plot is utterly simple and elementary. If it was a movie it might have been tolerable, but as a six part series, it is just painfully drawn out. The casts look their parts but the acting was flat. The main character is handsome as eye candy but who struts around in the heat Of India in three layers of clothing and Iโm sorry but Mrs. Patmore needs to stay in the kitchen at Downtown.
