This show is worth watching if you have an interest in the period. The acting is top notch.
However, the writing leaves a bit to be desired at points, for me. There are a handful of times when a character reacts to something as if they are just learning of it, when it was explicitly shown in a previous episode that they already knew of this. It's kind of like the writers felt "This would be a nice point to have a dramatic reaction from the character, so lets just pretend as if s/he is learning of this for the first time." It really deflates my interest as a viewer.
