.... then you may well like this.
Certainly, I liked this series in many ways. The main actors all perform well. The child actor is delightful. Some of the stories moved me to tears. And I wanted to know how the characters would find their way through their difficulties.
But it is just too long. The fantastical concept at the heart of the drama is too flimsy to support a story wallowing so deeply and at such length in its emotional moments. In consequence, my emotional engagement was continually challenged.
Nevertheless I stuck with it to the end. The final episode epitomised the lengthy wallowing I have mentioned, with an hour and a half of tears for the audience to sit through. I did come through that not regretting my perseverance, which is all credit to the strengths in my opening paragraph.
