In 1962, cookbook author Julia Child boldly pitches a groundbreaking television series centered on demonstrations for the home cook--despite pushback from male station executives and her own husband.

Omelette

A beginning of dreams

In Julia, we&apos;re shown why the name Julia Child lives on through every means creatives can find, with this time being a scripted television show. Beginning briefly in 1961 and then jumping into 1962, the first episode of Julia, &quot;Omelette,&quot; covers Julia Child&apos;s entry into public television after her hit book &quot;Mastering the Art of French Cooking&quot; began to hit a plateau. But, of course, with Julia being a tall woman of a certain age at this point, the journey from a famous chef in print to that on the small screen was no easy task. Especially since few believed in her, including her own husband, Paul. Arah Lancashire as Julia is the kind of casting that could easily be her breakout role in the US despite her working in the UK since the 80s. For there is something about how she can touch upon Julia Child&apos;s awkwardness, her ingenuity, and the bits of her that are a little snobbish that makes her feel real. Like Child&apos;s, it is like watching someone completely comfortable with who they are, and to boot, Lancashire pursues this role without pushing the idea that this is awards bait. The way she presents Child is of a similar fashion to someone inhabiting a brand new character they are crafting on the fly. All the while, you are enchanted by personality, decorum, even her cursing at times, and falling for a person because of who they are, rather than what is being sold to you because of some shiny outer layer. One of the things we love about Julia, as of episode 1, is that it is not about being over the top. It&apos;s about Julia being eccentric, that&apos;s for sure, but the way she and Paul operate, her eccentricities are treated as such a norm. It is like they exist in their own little world and go out into ours simply because it is fascinating. This is especially true for Julia, but let&apos;s get back to the marriage to keep from harping on about her.
