The Duchess

I was looking forward to this, especially with the trailers, but it is so bad. After thinking about it, I can only suggest that it would have been a lot better if directed independently rather than by Kathryn, as it comes across so egotistical, which I get from the title is part of the theme, but this felt like it was self biographical at times, then it was about a power play (what is with the 'Succession' music), then it was a rom-com, then it was about the daughter, it was like they couldn't pick topics so threw everything in and confused the whole show! If it had been tamed down, it would have been a really enjoyable series, but as it is, it is awful. I am sure Kathryn Ryan fans will be loving it, because Kathryn Ryan is on screen, but that's it! As a comparison, I am watching 'Meet the Richardsons' on Dave and it is hilarious, had this series been done similar, it would have made a huge difference. It wasn't and it isn't funny!
