It's been hyped to the hilt and so far people are believing the hype and those voting have rated it highly on the IMDb.
But what is this 'lavish' rubbish set in and around a TV studio in 1956? For starters, nothing much happens of interest, except for the cast walking round as if they're all terribly important actors in terribly important roles speaking in terribly important accents in a terribly important TV serial.
When all is said and done, I was bored by it. There was a murder and a suicide in episode one and even that couldn't raise the programme from its boredom level.
Being a follower of 1950s fashions, I was watching out for what the ladies and gentleman were wearing, but they couldn't even get that right. The leading actress frequently wore skirts and dresses way shorter than the 1956 style.
Ladies in 1956 never wore their skirts above the knee. It was a rule, calf length - especially secretaries, admin and business ladies.
Dearie me, I am so bored with this programme.
