This is a British show about the Mitford sisters. These siblings were in part known for their spouses or cousins (Guinness, Churchill, Duke of Devonshire), and in part known for their politics (Communist, Nazi, Fascist), and then for their novels and autobiographies.
There are seven of them. They look distinctive, thank God. It’s not like The Thin Man, where every man is slender with dark hair and a thin moustache.
But … it’s seven names to keep straight. And then, and I am serious, seven nicknames like Decca and Bobo and I don’t know, Chowd or some nonsense. And then TWO OF THEM call each other “Baud.”
I am half done, and those nicknames better be a plot point otherwise I don’t know why they were included. I had to make a Rosetta Stone to keep track of who had what political bent, who they were sleeping with, plus hair color, name, and nickname. Even still, I keep clicking the supplemental streaming icon that tells me who plays who in this scene.
I’m wearing that icon out anyway because Star City has two main female characters, both soft-bodied with soft brown hair, and they both sleep with two similar blond men. It’s possible it’s the same man. I can’t keep them straight either.
