A well-made series, having gorgeous everything, sets, design, era costumes and "bibelots" with good convincing acting overall, but ultimately uninteresting and a little bland.
It more or less lacks real drama, romantic thrill and shocks to sensations. One of the reasons is the linear, insipid acting by most protagonists as well as limited scenes, locations and bubblegum-filler situations.
If you want to compare two ~alike productions and have a feel of what is flowing wrong in this one, you can watch 'Bridgerton' and see for yourself what a strong period drama feels like.
