Mesmerising and beautifully shot with such detail and at times I felt I was watching an early 60s Italian film. Andrew Scott was excellent. He has a still quality and his eyes can convey pure hatred in a split second. All those steps, the peeling plaster, statues, paintings, water ...all of it stunning. I had to ration myself to only two episodes a night on Netflix and now I'm mourning. The acting quality of even the minor actors was superb.
