Brilliant series

I love, love, LOVE this series. Outstanding on every level and leaves you loving Julia Child even more than you already did. And Sarah Lancashire...she blows it out of the park as Julia. Also wonderful to learn more about Paul Child. This series is a must watch.

Witty and character development fabulous

James Beard takes this show to a new level. It's so entertaining and fun to watch. Paul's character shows the marked characteristic of having to deal with a rising star.

A show that will teach a generation

As Julia sees how far-reaching her influence is, Alice tries to deal with her receiving little to no credit, never mind the benefits of the deal she made for Julia. With Alice securing Julia to a whole new audience, she is a bit peeved that she did the work but can't enjoy the spoils. Russ is the one who gets to go to San Francisco with Julia, while Alice is stuck behind in Boston dealing with her mother, Virginia, having no sympathy for the unfairness that weighs on her. But, with everyone asking for Alice and thinking she runs things, Russ doesn't really get to enjoy what Alice started. What makes James an interesting character is that you can see some parallels between him and Julia. Both are tall, distinct, and full of personality, but they live a very different life. Julia has Paul and doesn't need to do as much as James. From what it seems, while James has his community, there is a part of him that appears to need to be the life of the party and to keep it going, for he knows the silence that comes when everyone goes home will be deafening. It's interesting to watch a mother/daughter duo, especially two Black women, who have a relationship that isn't volatile but also isn't without love. There is a balance that feels rarely afforded, and to watch Alice open up to her mom and wish for more than Virginia might be willing to give, for she has no time for Alice's moaning and groaning, it's an interesting dynamic. What you have to appreciate seeing, especially when Julia went to the drag show, is how Julia is loved for being herself, not for what she can make for others or how she can directly support them. Her existence is the gift. Her willingness to make mistakes, even on camera, and make the best of it is inspirational. Her being this tall woman, not hiding the least bit and rarely making herself small, is notable. Especially since she never uses her size to diminish the stature of others. It is why Julia C.
