No full nudity so I wrote it off because my husband said he read reviews. But almost immediately there was a somewhat detailed scene of two characters having sex against a tree. This show had an amazing plot with twists and turns of romance and drama during the era. Cursing includes "bitches" and "f-k." Show more Characters talk about marrying for love, but they also automatically consider anyone who's rich or who has a noble title to be more important. A character with a larger body type is insulted for her appearance women are often laced into very tight corsets that leave bloody marks on their skin. The characters are very wealthy, with expensive parties/dinners, elegant clothing, precious gems, huge estates, and servants (who are universally loyal and enthusiastic about their jobs) ostentatiously on display. Violence includes very physical boxing matches, and characters hit each other violently during disagreements, and duel (with guns). Several characters smoke cigarettes and one uses snuff characters also drink, sometimes to excess. Meanwhile, men have sexual affairs and mistresses and are called nothing worse than "rake." One storyline involves an unplanned pregnancy. Sexual politics is also a complicating factor in the drama: Upper-class women are shamed for being alone with men and called "loose" or "ruined" as a result. Expect plenty of explicit sex scenes, including partial nudity (breasts, bottoms), implied masturbation and oral sex, multiple partners, suggestive movements/noises, and passionate kissing by both same-sex and male-female couples.
In an unusual but welcome move for period dramas, the cast is diverse in terms of race and ethnicity, with people of color represented in every strata of society, from nobles to servants.
It follows a cast of upper-crust characters involved in society dramas and dilemmas.
