So far series 6 has been rather slow and not very interesting. I can't believe what they've done to Arthur. He has become a shadow of the incredible character we had at the start. Is he going to spend the entire six episodes rolling about on the floor doped to the eyeballs?
The American is dreadful. Michael's ghastly wife looks like a silly anime character with those eyes that are too big for her face.
The music is absolutely hideous, and way too loud. I have to keep turning the sound down every time the next screeching female starts howling her way through some horrible song. As for that godawful version of Red Right Hand at the end of Ep 5, what a racket.
The show is missing Helen McCrory so much.
I do love Sir Oswald. I know I shouldn't and he does sometimes make my skin crawl, but Sam Claflin is so attractive and so good at that upper class accent that I often forget he's one of the resident baddies.
I only have the finale left to watch now having watched the first five today. I really hope that it doesn't disappoint.
One thing that is interesting after reading other reviews on here is the seeming lack of knowledge some viewers seem to have of the real life characters from the era. Apparently, some viewers don't realise that Diana Mitford is not fictional. One review on here actually referred to her as "the Nazi groupie". Yes, her character is irritating as hell, but she does have good reason for being in the show, as she was Mosley's second wife. They married in Berlin in 1936, the wedding held at the home of Joseph Goebbels, and Hitler was a guest. It's also worth reading up on the Mitford family. All the daughters had interesting lives, and were the IT girls of the 30s. They also had very differing views. Diana's views, which were mirrored by her sister, Unity, couldn't have been more different to Jessica.
