Good reviews here are spot on. Show has it all--story, characters, acting. Aesthetics, heart. Etelo Pardo's performance is a revelation, haunting and profound. Entertaining and emotionally affecting as the series overall is, her performance rises above this engaging material to the heights of great classic film and theater performance levels. Those eyes, that face. She's raggedy and regal all at once. Her anguished compassion, her dedicated selflessness!
Another striking feature is the charm of the children, especially Bertie.
This is a "pretty" production, but social issues come through. Do wish for a sequel n some form. Still.
