Being a big fan of nearly everything Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey, Gosford Park), I was excited to try this one out. I don't have HBO, but it is a free week. So, just one episode in, my impressions shouldn't be taken with too much consideration. They mimicked the fast energy of the Downton Abbey pilot. I'm not crazy about the casting. Christine Baranski still sounds just like her character on The Good Wife, and I'm not much of a fan of her voice. Carrie Coon's voice isn't much better. A lot of recognizable faces, which I think is a mistake. I'm still jazzed to watch more, but feels more like the pop version of Downton Abbey than something as authentic and detailed as I'd hoped.
