The objections I have to this work are many, and they are technical in nature. The scripts are poor--they don't resonate. The parts are too broadly played. Further, the costuming is even worse--full of anachronisms. The cars on the street aren't even right. The series likes to pretend it is accurately representing the era, but anyone who was alive back then knows better. How hard is it to hire someone in their sixties--or (gasp) their early seventies with a little attention to detail? Or simply check the DATES on things?
This is a bad production that gets worse with each episode, and there's no reason that it had to be so awful. If you spend a lot of money on a series, at least try to find someone who won't put 1970s cars in a production that takes place in the sixties, women dressed like they are ready to go to the disco in the seventies, present-day 'five o'clock shadows,' and plastic- looking leather coats back in the sixties when these things were not part of the scene.
This could have been good--instead it is dreadful. A crying shame.
