I don't really understand her fascination with this melodrama. The acting is terrible, the writing is atrocious, and none of the characters are likable, let alone believable. To me, this is more along the lines of a Wifetime (Lifetime) movie rather than a broadcast show, with none of the sense that they know it's junk but they're going to have some fun with it regardless.
I am all for historical fiction, but is it too much to ask to make it good historical fiction? This is really more like history meets "Days of Our Lives", except the writers couldn't get hired on to that show.
The thing that upsets me the most about this though is that Anna Poppelwell got caught up in this program. I loved her in the "Chronicles of Narnia" movies. Why couldn't she get a better acting job to follow that up?
