Everything about this show is great, save one thing. The acting is fantastic, the sets are great, costumes are fine. The direction, music and production are first rate. The writing is fine, the dialog is well enough. But......
My God the timeline is absolutely atrocious. Specifically the convoluted skipping back and forth, arbitrarily, over 25 years. Its impossible to follow without doing literal research while watching the show. The edit is awful, it ruins the show. Had this program had a coherent edit/timeline I feel like it would be in the running for GGs and Emmys.
I'd give the show 6.5/10, if the show had a comprehensible timeline I'd put it at 8.5. Such a shame, and waste of these fantastic performances.
