“I love the show. Really close 'take' on that time, but one that avoids parody. It's Vanity Fair -- always spinning the decadence back into the rinse cycle. The neuroses, shaky judgment, and social friability of the late Eisenhower/early Camelot/Rat Pack years NEVER sensualized itself as VF does with everything it touches. Love the actors, love the 'lushness', can't stand the drenching exudations, the jet-set skankiness, of the VF pictorial style.”
