An avid Masterpiece lover; indian Summers has something for everyone. Love, hatred, jealousy, afairs, illegitimate children, manipulation, blackmail, murder, interracial relationships, etc.; standard formulas for British period dramas.
The underlying themes of the prejudices and repressiveness of British Imperialism and the Indian Caste system; with India's impatience for independence from British subjugation, added realism to the script for the time frame.
Overall an enjoyable watch.
