I was OK with the clichés and the melodrama bombastic style.
but hit every cliche and story line. they don't miss one. sometimes it gets palling. taken for what it is, it is fairly entertaining. but again, every single cliche. sometimes it is so over the top; all situations are theoretically realistic. the baddies are bad. Everyone is recovering from WWII.
It may seem trivial, but all the woman have set hair, and high maintenance styles. (and color) But no one ever goes to the beautician; no one is ever in curlers- high maintenance looks and hair- suitable for the characters, it isn't wash and wear- and it would require time and attention.
I will say, they are using themes of woman fighting for fair treatment, and equality. from abusive husbands, to poor medical treatment. even abortions. also major themes, anti Jewish and Catholic, anti gay (men) and racism (Native Aborigine). You would think every gay man is good looking, and kind, and they all have a bond
