Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

grandcyn Apparently I neglected to indicate in the review I just wrote that it contained a spoiler; I don't know what that spoiler would be unless it's that Season one ended with some matters unresolved; this is a wonderful show with excellent acting, excellent plot, fascinating family dynamics, beautiful dresses, references to historical events. One really cares about the characters. Other reviewers expressed my thoughts exactly and I agree with them that this wonderful series needs a second season

annmarin123 Am I losing my mind... Or are most of the "original series" being put out lately just boring as heck?Should I be blamed for holding these series to the "Breaking Bad Season 1" benchmark? Maybe so... I guess I got spoiled.I tried, again, tried hard to get into this. I mean, its all up my alley: Period piece. Intrigue. Clothes. Haute Couture Clothing (Imbd just scolded me for shouting, sorry). The ad alone with the gorgeous red dress photo had me at Hello. But halfway into the first episode, I had to give up the ghost. Honestly I fell asleep and I can't even tell you what was going on. A man, he's reviled by the media for some reason, he's apparently rich a.f., cobblestones, and he's a fashion designer icon. He's the designer of a gorgeous emerald green satin dress.. that much I can tell you. The rest is a fog.I hope you have better luck with this one than I did.That is all.

Maria Trim I nearly didn't watch this, as i just assumed WRONGLY it was a story about bringing back fashion in Paris after the war. Boy was I wrong. From the start to the finish i was totally hooked. Yes it has fashion, and pretty feminine ladies, but the story behind the scenes is full of intrigue, treason, murder, collaboration, and so much more. I really really really hope there will be a season 2, i so want to see what happens next. 8 episodes all of them excellent. Oh and the joy of seeing Frances de la Tour once again in an Amazon series, she is so dark and mysterious as the mother of the Sabine brothers...... I loved her character one of my favorite English actresses who can put her hand to anything, comedy or drama. Please watch this series, and review as the more people who do it the more likely we will see the second part in production.

a_marciniak I started watching this because I saw a promo for it and thought it was beautifully shot. I've only just finished the first episode, but these are my thoughts. The show is, assuredly, beautifully shot. The characters, as written, are definitely archetypes that we've all seen before; it is true. Their personifications by the cast are nonetheless quite compelling, save for Billy who needs to just disappear. Watching him is like taking the orange zest side of a cheese grater against your skin. Awful. Or perhaps that's the point? To show how annoying, presumptuous, and unlearned we Americans are in the City of Lights? TDB...My chief complaint, aside from the fact that the entire Sabine staff seems completely fluent in English as if it were their first language, is that the ruling family of this couture house are played by British actors, and their delivery is quintessentially British. Yes, they nod to their supposed Frenchness by saying "maman" instead of "mum", but their classic British cold calculated restraint on display is a different animal than the typical French sangfroid. This cultural disconnect between the British actors trying (not trying) to act French is a bit jarring. Compare these three to how Nina and her mother are played to truly see the difference. Otherwise, i'm intrigued and will ride out the season. Beautiful costumes.
