Beecham House

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.

Here’s a fact that may surprise you: With this episode, we’re now officially halfway through Beecham House. Doesn’t it...feel like we should be further along in this story? Or, at least, really even know what the story the show’s trying to tell is?

Beecham House is so frustrating precisely because it should be good. On paper, it’s a story that hasn’t really be done before, set in a period we rarely get to see in shows like this. In actuality, however, it’s a trope-filled retread with tremendously dull storytelling, generally unlikeable characters and a chaotic plot that is so messy I can’t even summarize it easily.

New Masterpiece period drama Beecham House is stunning to look at. The sets are lush, the costumes are beautiful and the world of late eighteenth-century Delhi leaps to life onscreen.

Unfortunately, the show’s beautiful veneer is forced to cover over a multitude of cracks.
