I just finished the last (6th) episode, and it is GOOD. We end with a juicy cliffhanger. I need them to hurry up and get started on season 2. This is a nice, juicy, luxurious soap. I felt like I was watch early 90s B&B and Y&R again with the boardroom antics and double-dealings. 

 

You will love it!

@NothinButAttitude Good! I only watched tye first two episodes,  but happy to hear it continues to deliver.

I felt the show was strong and good from start to finish. I am not a binge watcher as I watch things in increments; however, I watched the entire season from start to finish as it was that good. 

I'll give it a go over the holiday, lol.

Alas @NothinButAttitude, I'm not a Primer. But I'm sure the first episode might be on one of my other platforms. I'll look it up.

I’ve just finished episode 3 as part of a staggered watch (I’ll be done by tonight) and it’s very good.

Well written, well directed, very attractive cast (Deborah Ayorinde really does it for me) and shows the opulent side of my home city, rather than the gritty estates and streets our writers prefer to highlight.

And they didn’t have to take us to Wartime England or the aristocracy to do it.

Even better, my culture is being highlighted and celebrated (as well as examined) to achieve this.

I just finished having watched over two nights and I absolutely loved it. The creator Abby Ajayi mentioned in an interview having been brought up watching the 80s soaps with her aunties but it's also like a modern Judith Krantz novel/mini-series with a dash of the best Shondaland storytelling thrown in.

The characterisation is great and Deborah Ayorinde is an absolute revelation as Nina. She owns every single scene she is in. And the story itself is loaded with soap staples but feels fresh and compulsively watchable. One of the finale cliffhangers actually made me gasp even though it's such a cliche of the genre. 

I really hope this gets renewed next year.

@JamesF, I'd imagine that Amazon is going to renew the show given that it was highly watched and trending the weekend it debuted. They'd be foolish to cancel it. 

I just hope more people on the forum eventually watch it b/c it is the good, boardroom soapiness that fans have been yearning for, for years. 

Amazon has canceled the series.
