I didn't read any of the reviews until afterwards, and I'm glad I didn't. I absolutely love this trauma. I had to keep looking up to see if the actors have been given a brief to improvise every single scene. The conversations between the actors, particularly between the two main characters. David Hartley and Grace were just fantastic. It was almost like you were standing on the street corner, listening to 2 people having an actual conversation of the time. It was natural and flowed. I understand that people don't think that the storyline was obvious from the beginning and that is true. I don't think people put their face in the filmmakers enough And give a not so obvious story line a chance. Everybody is too quickly. Want to know all the characters on the story in the first 10 minutes. Otherwise something is not worth watching. The modern music was also gritty and edgy.
I love the fact that the director looked for unknown actors to take on the roles . Everything about this is different to the usual glitzy, polyester, enriched, cereal period dramas that are churned out at an alarming rate. We should give us a chance. Certainly watch beyond the first episode and let the story unfold naturally. Then look it up in history and educate yourself.
