Wow, I can't believe all the negative comments about the granddaughter! Her acting was actually very good. I watched the entire series and most of the time she nailed it with her reaction to various stimuli within the story. The writing itself was pretty good but not great, which is why I didn't give it a higher rating. All in all this series will keep your interest. Make your own judgements about the granddaughter's acting. Personally, I think she did a good job.
