To say this is absorbing is an understatement. The writers spared no detail when writing about the brutality of village life in early 20th century England. The story is fascinating. The characters are multi dimensional. It left me thinking about the story days later. The content is so rich you need to watch it multiple times to absorb the depth. You end up mourning for characters who exit the storyline. I'm a BBC period piece junkie. This is easily one of the best of the hundreds, if not thousands I've seen. My other favorites include Foyle's War, The Forsyte Saga and The Way We Live Now. It deserves the IMDB rating it's received from everyone who's rated it.
