This is the sort of show that you have to watch and be forgiving of its weaknesses because the performances, the direction, the development of the relationships, the cinematography, the sets and the costumes are so outstandingly good.

It’s main weaknesses comprise two things: the plot, which is like a rudderless, leaking boat meandering on the current, constantly threatening to capsize whilst being patched together with coincidence and miracles; and the English speaking script and actors, which are, as usual, pretty abysmal.
