Other than that what was your feeling about the series over all?
The first and last episodes were the best written, and the most interesting. With some tweaking, they (and probably necessarily a third middle episode) could have been the entire presentation, since the “measured” pacing of the show would allow for pertinent material to be moved from other episodes into either one or the other.
Pacing is ponderous, music is pompous, casting was brilliant, and the acting is very good.
