“It’s gonna look like me, it’s not gonna look like them – what if they look at my baby the same way they look at me?” frets Alisha Boe’s fiery Conchita late in the first episode of Apple TV’s, fearing further alienation from her new high society British in-laws who’ve not taken kindly to her brash, free-spirited American ways. “Oh, so she’s Meghan Markle,” you’ll casually point at your TV and giggle, and suddenly this earnest period drama accumulates a strange, addictive appeal.
The show’s solid taste extends to its gorgeous set design, which flits back and forth between New York’s opulent brownstones and the blooming UK countryside , and what’s probably the most attractive TV cast since. Everything about this show is fun to look at, and its spiritual allegiance to a transgressive, convention-flouting generation makes for a charming time. Does Piers Morgan have an Apple TV subscription? He’s gonna lose his shit over this one.
