Despite the poor ratings from some I watched show with an open mind and was suitably rewarded
Very good acting in main . Perhaps upping pace at times could have reduced show to fewer episodes? Stopped me giving it perhaps another star
It took awhile to get accustomed to time switches but generally found them illuminating
Decent sets, costumes and settings - not sure why some reviewers are upset about beards though - surely a minor irritation at best
Also I can't understand preoccupation of some reviewers with moaning about casting as I found all characters relatable with good acting from all
Tobias Menzies and Anthony Boyle in particular are always watchable and the scenes they are involved in are usually the best of show
I also found the involvement of Reconstruction issues interesting and worthwhile as an English viewer as it wasn't something I was as aware of from across the pond.
As a historical drama with probably some minor inaccuracies ( as all are bound to have) I found the show to be far better than the negative off-putting reviews would have you believe.
I consequently found myself wondering was there not another agenda at play here?
