A slow, talky period drama of social climbing and quiet deception, more melancholy than thrilling.

How it feels: Melancholic, satirical, cynical and tense. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Identity, class, deception, ambition
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
