Romantic and dripping with sex.
The snobs, prudes and "art experts" are going to hate Desperate Romantics.
Do not let this deter you from watching what looks like being
the surprise hit series of 2009. Unashamedly pop art, camp and funny.
As unlikely as it might seem, Desperate Romantics will also bring
the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood to an audience, including me,
that know little of the central characters let alone seen the paintings.
Judging from the first episode, the writing, acting, production and
direction have a cohesive style, that could not be bettered.
And the suppressed and explicit sex won't do it any harm either.
It may not be art, but I know what I like.
