What a LET DOWN


Holy cats...this is the WORST miniseries I've seen in ages. I had such high, high expectations. The series even started off enjoyably with hilarious one-liners and sexy dudes playing these great artists. But nope. It went downhill so quickly I could barely catch my breath.

The art doesn't matter. It is painfully neglected.

Actual figures in their lives (Rosetti's siblings?) are completely ignored in lieu of thinly veiled, soft-core sex romp with a handful of women. (Don't get me wrong, sexytimes are great but this is ridiculous.)

They portray most of these men as terrible people.

There is no genuine heart to the narrative/dynamic between the characters at all.

They really should have just made up four men from scratch instead of dragging down the names of these guys. Then they could have put their little disclaimer at the start that they were inspired by the Brotherhood. But instead of just dragging real people through the muck they'd only be embarrassing themselves with totally fictional characters sort of inspired by those great artists.

SO BIZARRE.
