This not my cup of tea. Very boring, dry, and extremely slow. This production suits more for the PBS audience. I don't think this is worth the cable premium subscription but if you like Downtown Abbey and PBS Masterpiece films from the 1800s then this is probably for you. For the casual viewer, I would recommend drinking lots of caffeine (at least 3 cups of coffee or 1 monster) to get through episodes 1-3. By the time you get to episode 4, the series becomes so boring that you find yourself taking multiple breaks and dozing off.
