Outstanding Drama
This series is proving to be excellent; great plot and characters with an outstanding feel for the period. It's a great shame it was pulled at the end of series 2 due to the high production costs. The only criticisms I have are that sometimes you have to be pretty quick reading the subtitles, and I wish they hadn't used modern music.
