There is art in the wardrobe and set. The acting from the main leads in season 1 (I have not watched season 2) is meh.. I don't understand the premise that 'all the Bridgetons are such good looking people? Maybe it is their wealth that makes them "so very beautiful and handsome"... The amount of sex scenes is not necessary, AT ALL, other than to show they like makeup sex, and fighting after sex and don't actually love one another and are both just enthralled with sex and bickering with one another. It is fun to watch historical fiction. I understand the appeal of the show. Had to stop after Season 1 episode 8- just obvious outcomes, not always great acting and a lot of fluff...
