Starts off very well. Beautiful location. Heartwarming story. Unfortunately, by the middle of series two, we have a number of story arcsintroduced that I highly doubt were in the original books. Perhaps it is due time we all moved on from the late 1800s and into a modern re-making.
If you like your classic childrens books progressively advanced to cover LGBT and feminist positive content then you will enjoy this production immensely.
As usual the main male characters are deeply flawed - cowards, thieves, prideful, bullies, drunks, or sanctimonious (plus a MAP). They are appropriately brought to their knees or self-recognition of their failings.
I won't rate it lower, as I didn't continue watching beyond S2E5, and I'm happy to leave it with some good memories. Who knows where it goes from there.
As usual, a series can rapidly go downhill. This seems to be one of them.
