I wasn't sure what to expect from this, from the title I thought it was going to be some cheesy hammer horror type story where young women are turned into waxwork dolls. Unfortunately it's not nearly that interesting. The story focuses on 2 young sisters who are employed in painting dolls faces. One of the sisters aspires to be an artist and gets entangled with a group of other young arty types looking to exhibit in THE great exhibition. Unfortunately it takes an age to get there, there's so much pointless dialogue it drags the story out needlessly. None of the characters are particularly interesting or inspiring and there is the usual tick box casting that we see in everything nowadays despite it being inaccurate. I gave up after episode 2, too much of a snooze fest for me.
