It's true now that we're stuck at home, we will settle for less. Just as we know we should eat our fruit and vegetables, that's hard to do with cake in the house. That's what this series is, a bit of cake. Netflix knows that we will eat it up and we are a truly captive audience. Football scenes are predictable, as is dialogue. But the actors are pretty as is the scenery and costumes. Fellows knows what he's about, and is rich because of it. But don't expect any life changing lessons that Charles Dickens would teach, these are watered down struggles that leaves a sugary happiness in the end.
