From Scratch (2022)
6/10
Too long. Helps to know it is based on a true story.

I found myself waiting for the protagonist to die several times during the series. That just about sums it up. There is a lot of unnecessary dialogue, stretched out scenes that we could have done without; yet not enough back story or information on the main characters and events (like the fact that the main couple spent 18 months apart before he moved to America is only mentioned in passing in a phone call between the sisters).

Amy is unlikeable almost all through, comes across as rude, abrasive, entitled, selfish a lot of the time with everyone else (incl her daughter) except her husband.

As one of the reviewers said, it helps to know it is based on a true story. I spent episode 1-5 bored out of my mind then found out and got a bit more invested in the story.

Episode 7 gets a 10/10 from me which boosts the rating. Otherwise the rest of it is just an empty filler. I couldn't believe there was a whole 55minute episode after the main event.
