- TriviaThe second series began filming in July 2022. It was Croatia's largest television production of that year. The production employed 135 Croatian crew, including 13 out of 14 heads of departments, and more than 800 extras.
- GoofsMany of the men smoke cigarettes, but only Claudine seems to smoke among the women, very unlikely given the time and places depicted. Certainly smokers would include at least Paola, Lady Latchmere, Lizzie, Alice, Bella, and Connie.

Featured review
Don't give up
This series didn't have a great start. After E1 I was close to dismissing it as a rather inferior cross between Downton and The Durrells. I still wasn't convinced after E2. I was finding the short snappy clips rather annoying, the dialogue sometimes excruciating.
But then it got better. Or perhaps I just got used to it. Whatever it was, by the end I was very happy with it, and I'd definitely watch S2 if it is being planned.
Natascha McElhone was outstanding as Bella. Apart from her my favourite character was Imogen King who played Melissa. A caricature, as were many of the others, but this was really amusing.
