I am a huge fan of the book and the original film so when I saw ads for this I was excited to get a little more of a story I loved. This isn't really the tale of Dangerous Liaisons though. It's set before the events of the book but uses a lot of the book's material/basic plot and main intrigue. So, I get where a lot of reviewers are coming from that it is a bait and switch. But, I find I am really liking it (aside from episode 1, and Valmont's sad boi vibes w Montrachet). If you're looking for something on par with the Close/Malkovich film it ain't it. But if you want a costume drama with high stakes sex and a good dose of cynicism then maybe give this a try. Recommended pairing: glass slippers, bondage gear, and chablis.
