The show

Restless, razor-sharp and refusing to conform, 17-year-old Sybylla Melvyn is dead set on writing her own story in an era that expects her to find a man and settle down.

The Real Review

People are loving this new adaptation, mostly thanks to Philippa Northeast's electric performance as the fiercely independent Sybylla. She and Christopher Chung, as Harry Beecham, have great chemistry that really sells the story. The main gripe is that the plot itself can feel a bit predictable for a period drama, even if Sybylla's defiance feels fresh. It's a beautiful-looking show where the lead performances easily carry you through.
