OOOOOOMMMMG this show is filling the giant Mad Men sized hole in my heart this summer, although I am with the critics in saying that it is really not the same show at all. Tonally, very different, as Mad Men is more of a character piece and The Hour more of a mystery story/workplace drama. Oh and Britain in the '50s is obviously a very different place than New York in the '60s. And a newsroom is nothing like an ad agency. I could go on. But the clooooothes! Ben Whishaw's sweaters and tweeds! McNulty's sleek suits! Romola Garai's general fabulousness! The other lady that works there who covered the war and is awesome and wears sweet Katherine Hepburn trousers and fabulous blouses all day but I don't know her name! It is all SO GOOD.
I have the first episode of this on standby but for some reason I haven't watched it yet. I irrationally hate Romola Garai, IDK. BUT WHISHAW.
ReplyDeletethat's funny because I irrationally love her, I'm not sure why.
