Since this show is a '70s period piece (1973 in this case), I thought maybe there'd be some interest here.
Personally, I thought they did a decent job on the fashion/decor front, but some of the dialog (and general vibe of a few characters) was too anachronistic. And there was definitely a somewhat confused attempt to shoe-horn too much late '70s punk atmosphere into an early '70s context. The whole Robert Plant part was just cringeworthy, as well. Aside from all that, it basically followed the typical modern HBO drama formula to the letter, for better or worse.
Personally, if I were making such a series, it'd have a lot more King Crimson and Mahavishnu Orchestra and a lot less three-chord proto-punk, but I'm not sure that would fly with the network execs.
