Just too pretentious for its own good.
I didn't feel the characters rang true and it had too many cliches thrown in just to try and appeal to everyone. The music didn't fit the feel and pace and the acting was a little smug.
The camera work was annoying too with the shots being either too close or too unsteady. I couldn't finish the second episode because at that point I really didn't care for any of it.
To sum up, it was just too shallow and lightweight with bad acting, script and direction.
If you want to immerse yourself in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood world don't watch this.
