I absolutely adore Emily Blunt which is one reason I stuck with this throughout. The story was said to be about an aristocratic English woman coming to America to track down the man that killed her son. There's way much more to this series, too much more. So many storylines that it just gets confusing. In short, this is not a good series. It has its moments but all in all, it is a waste of time. The cinematography is terrific but that doesn't really help the story. The story has so many elements that none of them are explored beyond just a few scenes. There are way too many speeches and long-drawn-out scenes where people simply drone on and on trying to be 'deep'. I wanted to like this series so much but I just can't. There are at least 20 scenes in the series that could have not been in the series and it wouldn't have made any difference. This series seems like they just made 200 scenes and then sort of connected them together. There is sort of a plot and it comes to a resolution in the final episode but it's a mess in between the first episode & the last. Don't waste your time.
