George F. Will critiques CBS’s Beacon Hill as a costly but shallow upstairs downstairs misfit set on Boston's Beacon Hill in 1920. He argues it panders to sentimentality, lacks ideas, and upholds American egalitarian myths while showcasing lavish production and soap opera plots amid Irish Lassiters and servants.
