Finally got around to Masterpiece's Beecham House last night, and I'm just not eager to watch the other episodes to catch up.

Was anyone else uninspired with this miniseries?

I really liked the first episode but find the second and third episodes are just lacking something.  

I am going to try to watch the entire first series because nothing else in on that I want to see.  I can understand why they did not make a second series.

@ECBG  Week 1 wasn’t enough to get me back for more.

Still hanging in because I like Lesley Nicol (the former Mrs. Patmore). She is a good actress and an active proponent of animal rights.

The show itself is just ok; hoping it will get better.

I watched the first episode and part of second then gave up -  didn’t work for me - very mediocre.

I am enjoying the series but than I always enjoy Masterpiece Theater offerings.  Yes, it may not be as good as so many other series but for me the settings and acting hold my interest.    I also liked Indian Summers which wasn't a popular series but I enjoyed it.  The Jewel and the Crown was excellent and had the India, English theme.  

Compared to what is available on TV, especially the reality shows, Beecham House is a go for me.

I had high hopes for this series, but it's not holding my interest.

There's another thread about the show and while there are a few who are enjoying it, the consensus seems to be this is yet another Masterpiece bust, more style than substance and too slow moving to be compelling. Personally, I agree. I also find the always busy screen with the 'cast of thousands' sort of nerve wracking. I might try to stick with it, given there aren't that many episodes, but I'm thinking it's probably a good thing they reportedly didn't renew it.

I like it. I've only seen one episode (last week) but will continue to watch and figure out what's going on. I like shows about India-no idea why, lol.
