I watched the 1st 3 episodes in one day and liked it so much I watched then a second time that night. I am a Julia Child fan, and though I've never seen her television show, I have seen "Julie and Julia" several times, and read her autobiography "My Life in France," own both her cookbooks and the book "Always, Julia." I found this series accurate, charming, and eye-opening. Set in 1962, I learned about the early days of Public Television and Julia's contribution to it and to cooking shows and food television in general. It illustrates the disrespect the male-dominated industry displayed toward her and to women in general, and how she overcame their disinterest in her idea for the cooking show. I was never aware of any of that and admire her even more now. Forgive me if I've made it sound dry, because it was anything but that. I found it engaging and entertaining. The acting was terrific, with Sarah Lancashire as Julia, David Hyde Pierce as her husband Paul, Bebe Neuwirth as her best friend Avis, James Cromwell as her father, and appearances by Isabella Rossellini and Judith Light. It's full of humor and history. What more can one ask for?
