The Boy That Never Was

I've watched three episodes so far and, even concentrating hard, I find it difficult to follow as I watch with some things only dawning on me later.

You will rarely watch a series where almost every lead character is behaving or has behaved like a complete idiot.

Simon Callow, as Cosimo, is by far the standout actor and plays a most interesting character.

There is one standout thing that cannot be a spoiler because it is so obvious. The "boy" is a girl. Looks like a girl, runs like a girl and walks like a girl and, as far as I can recall, hasn't spoken any lines yet.

I will likely see it out on the basis of "I've started so I'll finish".
