I agree. Hopefully, it will get better. I was so looking forward to watching it. My Grandmother talked a lot about this era and getting her gin from Canada (she was in Washington State). She said there were speakeasys everywhere.

I love the costumes. I have pictures of my grandmother in her 1920's flapper garb. She was in her teens and early 20's and 30's. She said to me once, "We used to drink a wee bit back then." She is 101.

How cool! I love that era too!

I love the music, the furniture, clothes, style, speakeasies...all of it...except there needs to be a great plot turn to keep our attention.

I agree. Although I personally like gratuitous sex ....not so much on violence . Would be nice to have a well written story in between both.
