Queens

I really wanted to love this but I cannot bring myself to keep watching it. The customs are poorly made, they look like costumes from high school plays. The acting is also terrible! Unfortunately, I can't take this show seriously.

Most excellent historical drama of the subject matter I have ever seen. The acting is par excellence. The nuances of each character are riveting. The actors are physically beautiful to behold. The settings are realistic. The costumes are so real I can smell the stench of the unbathed.

This series was only fair. It seemed unauthentic and the dialogue was stilted. There was so many different characters it was hard to keep them straight, especially the men.

I am totally obsessed with these two women so I won't bore you with the historical issues because after all a good story can always get better. My issues with this production are greatly with the seamstress and the acting director. Such amazing fabrics, such horrible fitting! Everyone's dresses looked they were playing dress up in their mothers clothing. The corsets were well not there and the dresses looked like they were sewn by the lady who made my high school play's costumes (not that she isn't great but Hollywood isn't knocking down her door). The tops were loose and ill fitting right up to the cuts on the collars! Now mind you I can't sew my way out of a paper bag so I am in no way a costumer which is why this irritates me even more. I had a hard time watching because I wanted to just reach in and adjust a top here or a collar there. I am however a history enthusiast and well that is a bit of an issue with these costumes as well. I also have take issue with the acting in this. Such great actresses but all the interactions seem forced and unnatural and the dialogue well again much like my high school play productions. I felt like I was watching a low budget series that spent all their money on fabric and then went "Oh hell we have to pay costumers and directors" and just let the props boy do both! I give 2 stars because well...I do love me some Queens!!!!!!

This the EXACT same show as Girls5Eva I men the same script near verbatim - down to the big lesbian one, the housewife one, the overacheiver hot one, the manager. The only difference is Queens spent way more money and took out all the fun stuff. It looks good, clearly high budget. But it is somehow boring. They really just blatently ripped off Girls5Eva and threw more money at it and turned it into a drama in the hopes nobody would notice... which wouldnt be a bad thing if the show wasnt so boring.
