Me and my girlfriend love period dramas and watch a lot and this started quite well and it looked promising.
My complaint isn't with the way it was done it's with the author of the story. It was well produced I thought and I had no problem with the actors.
Our problem was just that the story was so depressing. My girlfriend was actually really shaken and upset after watching it. For myself I just found it very frustrating throughout. I was constantly finding myself frustrated at the characters for not just saying this or not just doing that, and then frustrated at the author for being so depressing with everything.
I'm a believer that the best stories end well. Great Expectations is a prime example. Yes plenty of things going wrong and plenty drama, but you're left with a feel-good feeling at the end. It's a shame when a TV series just leaves you upset.
