Touching, Thought-provoking, Entertaining, Uneven

See it if you are interested in how childhood trauma can play out in early adulthood.

See it if You like shows that are a bit of a throwback. You like melodrama, and lots of it.

Don't see it if You are looking for a show that handles serious subject matter with the focus it deserves. Read more
