Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
用力过猛了，前半段会觉得辛辣有力，借用某电影的高赞，叫“用戏谑来戏谑戏谑”，后面看着看着便感到乏味了。
可以算是伪纪录片式的美国脱口秀吧？把过去一年的全球重大事件都用调侃的方式过了一遍，很典型的美式幽默，对事件中的正反方都毫不留情的嘲讽一番，好像什么都讲了，又好像什么都没讲
6. COP president Alok Sharma openly weeps, only adding to already dangerous sea levels
又是打着字母幌子的小清新片，涉嫌欺诈，相当于举着重庆火锅的招牌贩卖清汤挂面，骗骗小孩子还是可以的。
P.S.我觉得比不要抬头更直接，更讽刺
挺逗 跟dont look up 反讽路数差不多
我国缺席了这洋葱现实，但某些我们以前认为美国人失智愚蠢的事正在我们网络里传染，这是赛博新冠。
继续去年， unbelievably sad
什么时候才能回到正常的世界呢……还是说the new normal will be the ‘normal’ hereafter, forever
这个系列要拍下去啊！人们如何才能同时拥有戴口罩的自由和不戴口罩的自由，是这个系列的内核了
又是荒诞，可笑，苦难的一年。说的就是你——老美。🐶
这两年发生的事情魔幻到分不清电影里哪些是真的哪些是假的。。
新手女S & 老手男M，意料之中的反差设定。圈内 / 外人的（轻）喜剧。
就这种电影去谈什么拍摄和剧本都没意义，这本身就是个super sketch show
果然是女性导演的作品，才能展现出这么舒服的效果。男主选得太好了，就是狗狗本身。
2021年证明，我们并没有从2020年吸取教训。
今年第一天看的第一部影片是「去死2020」，今年最後一天應該也是最後一部影片是「去死2021」。去年很不理解美國人不戴口罩的行為，等到今年出了疫苗後開始理解了老外的思維。好在中國並沒有強制性注射。一年一總結，看下來並沒有比去年好起來。今年還多了一個國家的滅亡，地球真的是危險⚠️
有一说一，夹带了不少私货。
不如2020了，但2021对于我还是美好的，我儿子出生了
以后可以看这个系列跨年了，今年又是一波狂嘲，虽然没什么用，但是看着解气啊。
