Does this get better?

It took me about 4 episodes to really get into it. The fog episode in particular clinched it. Also, the actress who plays her sister, Vanessa Kirby - what a stunner! Spunky and endearing all in equal measure.
It's important to mention also that I have zero interest in the monarchy. -

Honest answer? Not really.
If you liked Downton Abbey, you will probably like this. If it's boring, it's because you don't find it interesting. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
I binged all 10 episodes because I had the time, not because I thought it was mind-blowing. It plodded along and I got through it. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't the best of 2016 in my opinion. Westworld and even This Is Us was better to me. -

I thought I'd be bored senseless because I'm not a fan of that family, but wanted to check the pilot to see why it cost so much. I loved it which surprised the hell out of me, and it completely changed my mind on them, but if you're bored before the pilot even finishes it's probably just not your thing. Have you seen The Night Of? That's also stunning, and I found it gripping.

To me the best episode was "Knowledge is Power" 'Potentia Scientia Est. Oh my goodness. If you weren't blown away by Claire Foy in that episode, then you'll never see what the Golden globes saw. But Star Wars or Guardians of the Galaxy is an option for you.

Some of the episodes center on her life and sister's. Read over the synopsis of the episodes at

and pick out the ones you feel are closer to what you're looking for. The episodes are not in chronological order as they happened in real life. -

Yes. I was mixed for the first episode save the points you mentioned. However, the second and third episode nailed had me hooked. If you get through the second episode and still aren't into it then it probably isn't for you. But yeah, the first episode is a little slow.

This is an exceptionally good series. Brilliantly cast, intelligently scripted, understated acting and such detailed beautiful costumes and sets. On top of all this it's a real depiction about actual events and the machinations between historical figures. This gives the series more gravity than anything else on the box.
My wife and I loved the series and are aching for the second to become available. Well done Netflix.
