About

You may like this if you enjoy period dramas with migration struggles, family tension, and a more serious edge than Sanditon or Howards End; Not for you if you want a light, cheerful, or straightforwardly uplifting watch.

Pros: engaging intertwining stories; strong performances; vivid period atmosphere | Cons: relentlessly bleak tone; overstuffed melodrama; uneven plausibility
