Oh my! Fell into this by accident and could not stop laughing! Anyone, ANYONE familiar with Elizabethan, Gothic writings will appreciate the antics which ensue. Excellent writing and directing. Where this gem came from I don't know, however the entertainment value is high as this sort of drama is usually heavy and dry.
The character development is superb, the cinematography and set design immaculate to the period. The actors are at the top of the game.
Upon initial viewing I thought the story to be a serious one reminiscent of "Moll Flanders"... very cruel etc. However once realizing it was comedy, relaxed a bit as the sight gags and use of language grew increasingly ridiculous and fun.
Am savoring each episode once discovering there is but one season.
Julia Davis does "Rebecca" proud in her writings and personification of Elizabethan era dialogue and characters.
Thanks HULU.
