A note to the haters.

I have not read the books, therefore, I started this series with no expectations. I understand being dedicated to a book and being disappointed in the way it is brought to screen, so I give you guys a pass. 

2. Historical inaccuracy: I realize, because I am a history professor, that the historical inaccuracies of this series are too many to count or explain. However, I teach on the subject of social hierarchy and the injustices heaped unto the lower classes and minorities everyday. How I wish I could teach history the way it was portrayed in this series in regards to minorities. It would be a welcome change. 

 3. Those who take this series so seriously and say it's from the minds of this "woke" generation; please get over yourselves. It's meant to be a fun period piece and not much more. And what creator of any show hasn't thrown a few of their ideologies into their work. 

 As for those who aren't sure if they want to watch the series; I say watch it. It has a touch of several beloved period pieces from the past. It's a little like Pride and Prejudice with a hint of Alice in Wonderland before she heads down the rabbit hole. The story is good. The main characters have amazing chemistry. And it actually has, to me, a happy ending. The series left me wanting to read the books.
