I'm going to leave what I wrote after seeing one episode. But I just wanted to say that the series won me over. I changed my score from a 6 to an 8. I would have to say that the second half of the series is better. And I really like the compassion that the series closed with. Happy I hung in there.

Only one episode under the belt but I can see that it's going to be a depressing ride all the way through. The appeal... Winslet, and I didn't pick up any cleverness in her role as frumpy Mare... and it would take a lot of that for me to drudge through the mud that is clearly ahead. I had high hopes but I think I might just pass.
