I just finished watching Season 1, all 10 Episodes, on Netflix. This TV series is amazing.
In part, this series is great because of all of the great acting. It features a wonderful ensemble cast. The way the show is filmed is also key to its success.
It's a very complicated show and some degree of concentration and patience is needed to fully appreciate it. By going back and forth in time, it can be confusing but it really does make a lot of sense.
Exploration of family dynamics against the backdrop of critical historical events is the true beauty of this show.
Would recommend this to anyone who's up for something on the heavy side. There are some truly shocking moments. For those who just want a "guilty pleasure," this is not for you.
