"Z" for Zelda FItzgerald Screening on Amazon "The Beginning of Everything" Has Nothing of Interest-ZERO

The Amazon series about Zelda & F Scott Fitzgerald would seem to offer a lot of spark.  Pity, it's a dull mini-series entitled "The Beginning of Everything."  I expected plenty of scintilating scenes between the famous writer & his notorious femme fatale wife.  I was disappointed.  There was nothing absorbing here to cheer or leer.   Zelda (a waste of a spritely Christina Ricci) plays opposite Swedish actor David Hoflin (F S Fitzgerald.)  The 10 part mini-series is plodding & tedious with boastful outbursts by Fitzgerald "I'm going to be a famous writer one day."  "The Beginning of Everything" had nothing going for it in terms of a script.  How ironic & moronic for a TV series of one of America's greatest writers not to find decent writers.  Zelda & F Scott first met in Montgomery, AL during WWI where F Scott was stationed but never deployed before the armistic is signed.   F Scott is starry eyed & smitten the moment he looks upon Zelda doing a balletic turn in the worst editing of a dancing sequence.  Zelda aspires for more than her provincial, affluent social strata that offers  zilch - exactly what the viewing audience will get wasting their time watching.  David Strathairn plays Zelda's father who makes the most inane demands.  Zelda is expected to be on time for family dinners & he dithers at Zelda's insouciance at his remonstrations.  It's possible later episodes will introduce prominent literary characters & actors of the epoch.  I watched 3 of the 10 shows & will not bore myself with more.  "Z" rates a 3 on a scale of 1 -10 which is an eccentric rating for such a lame series about a dynamic dame & her literary giant spouse.
