This series is a re-take on Edith Warton's last novel which was based on the somewhat true story of American new money heiresses during the Gilded Age who went to Great Britain looking for nobility (and societal recognition). The BBC also did a mini series The Buccaneers (1995) That series had Mira Sorvino in it.
The only thing going for this current production is Christina Hendricks is in it as the mother of two competing American daughters. Anything with Ms. Henricks is worth a watch. Unfortunately, she is not in it enough.
