Came here after bridgeton. Must admit. This series is way better. It has depth. The heroine claire is breathtaking. Not just for her beauty but especially so for her intelligence and loyalty. Each season has a well crafted storyline and makes us think about the impact of culture and history during those times. Some of the scenes can be pretty brutal and i must admit i had to close my eyes at times. The love scenes are quite a lot but thankfully its not there just for the sake of having it. Its quite integral for the storyline. I feel that the show has not gotten the accolades or publicity that it deserves. However, just like I that only was made aware of it after 5 seasons, i am sure that it will continue to gain new fans.
