very interesting and looks good so going to give it a go
I was confused for a minute there. I thought the bar tart and the artist’s sister were the same person—they looked so much alike.
But nope, two diff. characters, two diff. actors. Time for some new specs, or ease up on watching shows all night long.
Seriously underrated series. If you’re a fan of the victorian era murder mysteries you’ll like this clever piece.
