Wealthy and independent, fashionable and elegant, a real aristocrat and secular lady reveals mysterious crimes with the participation of her reliable and loyal driver.
The basis of the series is the main character, a rich high-class lioness and a highly experienced English lady with impeccable style, extremely observant and with a sharp mind and no less sharp language. At the same time, she does not tolerate boring leisure, she is very curious, easy to rise and is ready for the sake of a fascinating adventure to defiantly disregard the sustened customs of her circle, and in general an unusually mischievous, harmful and even a little hooliganistic person who can not pass by at least some interesting incident, and even more so by a mysterious death that happened very nearby. For all the restlessness, originality and some eccentricity, she, of course, can not be next to a vulgar and bloody dismemberment in a cereal den, her affairs are quite decent poisoning in a decent house or murder in an opera, well, in the most extreme case - in the circus.
Shot qualitatively, not too quickly, a good picture, there is intrigue, please the caustic remarks of the grand lady, her restrained and patient personal driver and assistant turned out to be a pretty character, and Diana Rig herself is just a young man.
A separate and very noticeable place (especially for the female half) is occupied by dresses, hats and other outfits of the main character. Artists and costume designers tried to reflect the beauty and chic of the last years of that brilliant elegant era. Nice to see. It’s a great mini-series.
Language. They say well - understandable and, even almost all the rare common people, right. Subtitles can help to fully appreciate the echid lines of the main character.
