This story covers familiar territory, but I still found it tantalizing. It captured me from the beginning to the end. It is mainly due to the mesmerizing impersonations from the actors and actresses, in particular the main protagonists. They kept the ‘slow-burn’ of their relationship just at the simmer stage with it never boiling over – until it was time for it to do so. I just loved the way they kept us entertained and engrossed until we were able to find out who they were. The build-up was such that we really did want to know about them. The overall splendor of this series is its consistency. It never wavered from its intent. Sure, it takes a long time for their relationship to develop but because these guys seem to make it feel fast, it was. And, given the time frame they were in, we understood their hesitancy. Slow-burn series will work if you have the right actors and a great screen chemistry and good dialogue. And this had all three. They were just on the cusp of developing a strong relationship when the series threw in a gut punch that I did not think it needed to. That is what diminished the impact of this series. A standard cliche twist, completely unnecessary.
