7/10
Very nicely made

But I doubt I would keep up with it if the series is continued.

Based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel of the same name, this slightly more than one hour opening episode is a treat for the eyes through it's recreation of Hollywood in the early 1930's. The production is first class and the actors come across as solid and well thought out.

Even with all that going for it I am not drawn to come back for more. Why? Maybe it is the period look and the plot that comes across as just not so important. Hollywood as it was 80 plus years ago is more an historical interest than a drama interest for me. It's not that I find costume drama's boring or uninteresting. They can be wonderful! But this show just didn't click with me despite the other glowing reviews given here on this site.
