This 2 part series is very shallow and the most significant thing about it is all seeing all the period costumes and old cars. The leads are badly cast, and although I do like Charlotte Rampling, her role here was almost non-existent. Michelle Dockery appeared to be practicing from back then for Downton Abbey as her portrayal as Rampling's daughter was no different to that of Lady Mary in Downton. She used the same "plummy" accent and imperious manner of speaking. The fake accents for the American scenes were grating to the ear, and I am not sure how she came to be driving a 1947 Chevrolet convertible in 1940. Probably some kind of time warp. I watched both episodes but am thankful there was not a Season 2 for this low caliber series.
