This is a completely beautiful show. It is so well made with a captivating storyline which surprised and delighted me from start to finish.
Watching this was like receiving an epic warm hug and then immediately being punched in the gut at regular intervals. It is so deeply moving and harrowing in parts.
As an adult in my 30s I enjoyed this enormously but as for children I really don't know. I think it depends on what your child is used to watching. Perhaps as a recommendation...watch it first and don't forget the tissues!
