If you are looking for historical accuracy or a fast paced action series then this is not for you. It ambles along slowly and has what sometimes seems an annoying habit of stopping on a cliffhanger and then explaining the cliffhanger in the next episode but I didn't mind it in this series so much. There was quite a lot of repetiton as well but somehow since this was a gentle series it was fine. At the end of episode 14 I thought they had found a really clever way to solve the problem of getting them together but then they came up with another ending in the final which I thought was a bit farfetched but seems to leave room for a second series. Anyway, if you are just looking for a feelgood series you could do worse but don't expect anything groundbreaking. The acting was good, I especially liked the fl's brother.
