Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Such a frustrating disappointment

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
