4 episodes is way too long. There is so much redundancy or things that are drawn out. There is no twist, conclusion, or closure.
The series is absolutely biased toward Sarma. Most of it is her telling her side of the story - whether it's truth is another thing entirely.
Speaking of what's true or not, I can't wrap my head around someone actually believing the supernatural claims she supposedly did. Making her dog immortal? Making her some non-human queen? What?! And she doesn't even acknowledge that she believed those things, really. She brushes EVERYTHING off by basically saying "I don't know why, I just did though." I do find the story itself interesting to an extent. But this presentation is extremely overdrawn and very disingenuous and emotionally manipulative.
This could have been made a short movie or 2 episodes, instead it's 4 hour-long episodes. I can't in good conscience recommend anyone invest that amount of time into this.
