While first watching the series i was very conscious of the differences in the characters, ie, humans, faes, pucks, etc. However, by the middle episodes their personalities were very distnguishable and the Row became like any other urban area, overcrowded, dirty, crime infested and just past its time, with people just struggling to survive.
The costumes and acting were fantastic, and the gloomy Victorian buildings gave viewers the feeling of sadness and hopelessness. The final scene was reminiscent of Nazi Germany with non humans being forced out of the Row, and the only things missing were the cattle cars. Excellent series.
