Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJulia Child was in the Office of Strategic Services during World War Two. This is likely where her methods of casual coercion and friendly guile depicted in the show were developed.
- GoofsTouch-Tone phones are shown being used in some offices, but these weren't available at the time the events depicted in the first season occur. The French Chef debuted in February 1963, but AT&T didn't introduce Touch-Tone service for customers until November 1963, in the Pittsburgh area.
Featured review
Really enjoyable
Like a lot of biography series/films there are some fictionalised elements, but this doesn't stop Julia being an enjoyable show to watch. The casting is great. Sarah Lancashire (from Oldham, UK) seems like an unusual choice to play the main role, but she does it really well. Since seeing Julie and Julia I've always had an interest in Julia Child. That film goes into how her book was written whereas this series goes into how she got on to television.
I don't know just how much is fictionalised in this series but it looks great and manages to mix comedy and serious very well. I binged the first 4 episodes in a day and am really looking forward to the next one!
