CGiii Comment
If you know nothing about the Bloomsbury Group...then, this isn't going to enlighten you.
Episode 1 - drab...with some shockingly bad camera-work. There is very little in the way of a story and being disjointed, it's difficult to know what's going on - that is, if anything is actually going on...apart from all the sexual shenanigans of a priviliged bunch of bores.
Episode 2 - no improvement whatsoever...if anything, it gets worse. The problem: there isn't a tangible story running throughout. And, to make matters worse...it jumps what seems to be 20 years into the future. A tad confusing.
Episode 3...deeply uninvolving. By the end...you will care not a bit for these caricatures.
