Well... It has Jude Law. It has Diane Keaton. It appears to have a massive budget. It has sumptuous sets and locations. It has provocative fantasy sequences. It has several quite nice shots of Jude Law's bum. And it might well be seen by some as controversial. Sadly, it is also as boring as the proverbial bat poo. As boring, even, as Mass on a hot summer Sunday. However, it will offend a lot of catholics - and for that I absolve it of all its other sins... so long as I never have to watch another episode. .
