Featured review
My husband and I are very much enjoying this series, (not nearly finished) but since the '50's were the decade where we reached maturity, served in the military (he) moved to NYC (me) and generally left the nest and entered into our own lives, we have some observations on the '50's as depicted here. The first is the total absence of anyone smoking. Most people smoked in the '50s and it looks very odd for no effort to have been made to depict that. (Pregnant women could smoke in obstetricians offices and the doctors smoked too!) The other thing is the wearing of hats by men during social events, that may be an Australian custom. Finally is the clothing. The clothing IMHO is spot on; an excellent job, except for one thing. We wore casual clothes a lot and I don't see any here. Dress was definitely more formal, (no slacks to work,) gloves, hats, small pocket books etc. However for leisure time we wore shorts, slacks, pedal pushers etc. Not jeans so much but still everyone owned at least one pair. And given the country life they lived surely they would have worn casual clothes? The other observation is the character of Sarah, who of course is wonderful. Since I lived in NYC, I met and worked with many survivors. (one woman who was 46 looked at least 66) they were mostly beaten down or at least bitter. I certainly never met anyone with the spunk and determination and fearlessness of Sarah, but she still is a wonderful character and we are enjoying this series very much.
