At first I thought it was a very good show and looked forward to the next season. When the next season was finally available, I watched two or three episodes and was very disappointed. I noticed the writers, for some reason, intrigated modern thoughts and popular responses, which was unexpected, unrealistic, and diffinitely not the case for that time. When the new mother/wife became ill I noticed she seemed quite healthy until t he end.Which I thought was ridiculous. That's when I decided to stop watching it. The realism for that time of the century wasn't enough to keep me interested.
