'Beecham House': Episode 4 Recap
The truth about John Beecham’s past comes to light in a ridiculously over the top episode of Beecham House that is simultaneously eye-rollingly predictable and also much more entertaining than anything that’s come before.
Is that an improvement? Technically speaking, yes, but it’s not like the bar wasn’t center-of-the-earth low already.
To be fair, this fourth hour is much more the sort of show I’ve been expecting Beecham House to be for the past two weeks, one which is insane and kind of bad, but is also at least fun to watch. (It also probably helps that they dial back old Mrs. Beecham’s racism this week to just calling the servants by her made-up names for them, rather than disparaging the entire Indian race with every other line.) Anyway, there’s nothing to do with the revelation that John’s son August is the presumed dead grandson but secretly hidden of a maharajah except laugh at it, particularly as the story digs into the specifics of his birth.
