I haven't read the book that this series was based on, but the story played out here is pretty revolting to a twenty first century girl. Margaret should have kicked this Henry slimeball to the curb soon after meeting him, being the strong, financially independent woman that she was. Other than being rich and handsome he had zero else to offer, and indeed makes life worse for those around him, even for some he can't seem to remember.
I enjoyed the production, scenery and actors, and found it engaging enough to finish the full series. I rooted for all the Schlegel kids, and particularly liked Alex Lawther as Tibby. Having seen the 1992 movie version I was not expecting to like certain characters in the story, but wow. My exposure Matthew Macfadyen suggests that he Is recently being typecast as a real scumbag (see also the series 'Succession'), and a very fine job he does at that, bless his heart.
