The Buccaneers is based on an unfinished Edith Wharton novel, which Apple TV has turned into a romp with modern language and music but great period clothes. It’s a deeply uneven show — LOTS of Americans being loud and laughing and squealing so that everyone is clear that they’re Not Like The Aristocrats — but it’s also just soapy and fun enough that I’m looking forward to season two. ESPECIALLY now that Blair Waldorf herself is on the scene. Blair plus Joan Holloway Harris?!? Yes.
