Stan Gilbert

Absorbing and compelling….a human chess match with multiple levels of good and evil

Excellent acting, engrossing stories, splended set and costume design, late 1920s Germany

Witty,engaging,anti-pompous and unique. Enjoy everything James May has done(Italy,Japan) and now the cooking shows. The recipes and his engaging moments of self-deprecation are terrific as well as the libations that compliment the respective dishes. But please don’t run your fingers through your mane while preparing food.

Buckets and buckets of tears…all 16 episodes. Ten episodes would suffice. Actors were fine but their characters were one dimensional. The director’s attempt continually to conflate three cases of suicide/sexual assault both past and present was lacking creative imagination. Be cruel. Be stoical. Be sadistic. Be pathologically manipulative….over and over again.
