Over the top sets, beautiful costumes and that’s it!! Why make it about patriotism? Could have just been a non-complicated plot woven around the women. Very difficult to gauge who the characters were. The shift from past to present in the 1st 2 episodes wasn't clear and for the most part I was wondering what in earth was going on. Had to read the plot on Wikipedia to actually find out. Slow. Some characters weren't really needed, some over acting and some non at all. Could have been so much more!!
