I didnt like this as much as I expected to. Yes the scenery was beuatiful. The premise should have worked: a father and son copper duo but very different styles.
I think I just found the whole culture that shaped the story lines to be boring. The religion. (And lets be clear I expect other similar almost fundamentalist or orthodox religions to break a culture in a similar way. )
And how does religion break a culture? When it is applied in an unbalanced way to the populace: the men can get away with what their own religion considers grave sins while the women can't. The copper dad commits them and what is insult on injury is his smug wife condoning it. Feeling that her husband was representative and emblematic of tradition and worthy of respect. Did you see how she treated her own younger brother and the fact her own husband that she continued to revere was a big part of the damage to that young child.
Now I am not one of those people who rejects a show because characters are unlikable. And In fact it is good to highlight and show characters like this as they also exist in the "real world". So that part is good and in fact not common. Its just there is only so much of this cultural backdrop that I can take.
The plot, the main character's backstory and subplots just can't make up for it.
