Only seen snippets and not impressed. So totally historically inaccurate. Are we meant to pretend that racism didn’t exist in the 18 th century and that everyone was able to reach the echelons of British upper class society whatever their background? It’s an utterly absurd production, pretending that the inequalities of racism and classism never happened back in the 18th century, and that, actually, everyone was equal and had the opportunity to reach high social standing. Talk about dumbing down. What an insulting production it is.
