[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a love-hate relationship with this show.  The storyline is fun but I got really confused during the first 15 mins because I did not expect it to be in an alternte reality.  When I saw the costumes in the beginning, I thought, oh ok, it’s Jane austen era, but then, as the story goes, I realize it’s not your typical period piece.  The only casting that I liked is the duke and the opera singer.  The queen is horrible and I wonder if she was  added there to poke fun at the idea of royalty.  Dapne is so plain, it wiyld not be an issue if she was not depicted as someone who’s supposed to be gorgeous, ditto with Marina.  [/quote]

I loved the queen. She was hilarious. Marina was pretty and her hair was beautiful. [/quote]

DP. I loved the queen too. She played the role deliciously and pitch perfectly.

Disagree on Marina. Her hair may be beautiful, but she lacked charm from get go.[/quote]

Do you have to be charming in order to be pretty?[/quote]

It made no sense that Marina would have the number of suitors that she had.  She had a pretty face, but her attitude was always sullen and flat.  Women of that class would have been expected to be polite, to be able to make conversation, to be charming.  Plus, she was not from an important or high-ranking family, and we saw no indication that she came from a lot of money or had a big dowry.  She would have a few suitors because she was pretty, but she would not have been so sought after without rank, money, or social grace.  [/quote]

This is fantasy. You can't apply real Regency standards and attitudes to it. The show writers and producers aren't going for an accurate production, but playful romance fiction.

Read Austen if you want something more real. [/quote]
