It's an overheated Picnic at Hanging Rock that Baz Luhrmann might love.

The original article can be found here.

The main points of the article include:

It talks about the various girls and notes that Edith is 'the college dunce.'
Mrs. Appleyard is younger than in the movie.
There is 'skulking and plotting and people rifling through one another's stuff.'
There is also some cruelty which borders on pathology.
The original film was 'still and dreamy.'
The Amazon series is not in the spirit of the original novel.
It is 'overheated' and is pumped up on stangeness and dread.
