Billy M @RT97359292 Nov 2 The music score by Anne Dudley makes this sound like an American daytime soap drama. I actually thought the score was being ironic to begin with. The campiness of a show like this should be a bit fun, but this is the dullest period drama I've ever seen. What a waste of Eleanor Tomlinson's talent. See more Read all reviews
