Aidan Turner is spectacular as Dante Gabrielle Rosetti, lusty, gorgeous man with hungry libido and beautiful physique. He portrays a less talented artist than his more talented friends John Millas, William Holman Hunt, and journalist/wingman Fred Waters. He truly loves Lizzie Siddal but lusts after Annie Miller, Fanny and Jane. The costumes, the music, the settings, the narrations are quite wonderful. This is a hot, spicy, juicy drama, with a great comedic foundation. These four men seek a fresh approach to art in a stilted stuffy academy system. The Pre Raphael Brotherhood is visionary and based loosely on historical fact. This is such a fun romp with these guys and gals. Interesting character development through the six episodes. Sexy but fun and tasteful with its comedic leanings.
