A complete disappointment, terribly directed and poorly written.
After watching the first episode, I thought maybe the second one would be better, but it wasn't. I gave up before the end of that second episode, it was just too bad.
The cast is not bad, the costumes and scenery are very good, but the script and direction are terrible. The camera is annoying, the shaky camera makes any movie or series worse and all together it looks cheaper than it really is.
Unnecessary zooms and constant camera movement are irritating and a sign of bad directing. Sometimes we want to see what's going on, not every shot has to be like a reality show.
The script is incoherent, the dialogues are unrealistic, especially for that time period.
The actors tried hard, the make-up and costumes are good, but that means nothing when the script is bad. Anyway, where are the colours? Everything looks washed out and monochromatic.
The characters are purely cardboard, and Coco Chanel is portrayed as naive, dumb, which I somehow doubt she was.
John Malkovich, who is otherwise a great actor, is not at all suited for this role and it shows. Ben Mendelsohn is solid as Dior, but the script is so bad that even he seems mediocre.
The rest of the characters are caricatures, hilarious additions that show us how not to write a script.
Total waste of time.
