This is a truly excellent drama series. Accomplished acting, plausible script and good production values throughout.
What is more surprising is that it is a product of the BBC. He decades ago. Consistently produced work of this calibre. But in recent years as preferred to generate trash.
Unfortunately the goal is slightly askew. Because this is really a story about the struggle of three women. And their attempts to do well for their children. And of course it is set against the experiences of persons who chose to embrace the Assisted Passage Initiative of the Australian government.
One should be very careful about judging the attitudes of native Australians. Toward the immigrants. From other European countries as well as England.
When a government decides to embark on a controversial course of action. Without consulting its own people. Those people nevertheless just have to kowtow and accept the administration's policy.
The Australian government decided to force immigration upon its native population. They even subsidised the initiative with taxpayers money.
Similarly the UK government decided to force immigration from the Caribbean states upon its own native population.
And in most cases there was a very unfortunate but understandable resentment toward the ' incomers '
This is a series to be commended upon many levels.
