Caught the first two parts of HBO's Mildred Pierce last night. Production values are fabulous. Costuming spectacularly spot on. Amazing that nothing was shot on the West Coast.
I'm missing the spiffy Warner Brothers dialogue. Overall, an enthusiastic response from me. The first two parts are set up, grittier than Hollywood gloss.
Good quality television and Guy Pearce is just slimey from the get go. Wally is just, ew.
Kate Winslet is very good. I'm not sure if I will like the grown up Veda or not.
