Great cast. Passible acting. Great sets. Great music. There is one glaring absence. Anything funny! I really wanted to love this but there is nothing even mildly amusing. Barbara (whilst shlepping into 'funny') is just excruciatingly annoying. She demonstrates herself doing a wide verity of accents and yet can only apparently speak with a Lancashire accent. They should have looked at The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to see how this kind of thing can be done properly. It's not that the whole drama isn't done with sensitivity or affection it's just that even the apparently funny bits that have the audience in stitches aren't funny. Such a shame.
