I found this show completely delightful. Growing up during the teething years of PBS and seeing it from all angles (Sesame Street to Cosmos and Kennedy Center events), this series intrigues me. It's always interesting to see how something is created and matures. "Julia" brings it to us in full, living stereo, showing the birth of WGBH in the left and and "The French Chef" in the right.

The casting is superb and the sets and costumes are period perfect. Sarah Lancashire captures the spirit of Julia Child and tastefully mixes with David Hyde Pierce and Bebe Neuwirth. I had my concerns about David and Bebe, whether their "Fraiser" relationship would somehow taint this show. It doesn't.

As a binge watcher, I'm always ready for the next season. However, "Julia" had be checking it's status, over and over. It's REALLY that good.
