I liked the show, but don't quite understand the hype. This is an interesting mini series and there is some good acting, but my husband fell asleep several times. I can understand why, because after the first episode it really is quite slow with a lot of talking. There are parts that drag, and the variety of accents is a bit odd. Once you notice that, it's hard not to notice it. Overall, a good show as long as your expectations aren't out of the world.
