The Devil's Whore, as expected, was absolutely stunning. Visually, it's just gorgeous, really detailed and fantastically illuminated. Plot-wise, the pacing could be a bit better, but it's quite interesting, and the characters are all intriguing and fantastically acted. Also, there's John Simm. ;alskjflsjdf, John Simm. The man is so striking. Also, and this is me being shallow about clothes, the costumes are, omg, so fucking beautiful. YAY PRETTY DRESSES. AND YAY PRETTY OMINOUS SKIES AND PRETTY, PRETTY PHOTOGRAPHY.
I honestly don't know anything about this specific time period, so I can be judge on historical authenticity, but at least it doesn't look as blatantly changed as The Tudors, lol. Really, I love it so far, and am anxious for more. :3
(I love epic period pieces, but, honestly, I'm sort of sick of Regency serials on the tv. And the Tudors have been everywhere these last few years. So good for a bit of change! NEXT WE'LL HAVE MEXICAN REVOLUTION AND I'LL DYE LAUGHING.)
