Well-Layered Performances in a Harrowing Narrative

I am not going to lie, this is a very traumatic watch. The narrative and performances are well-layered, which made it impactful and engrossing. The characters captured my empathy and sympathy, with painful backstories and current injustices. I became deeply invested in their problems and wellbeing, wanting good things for them in their future. However, I did need a break near the middle, or around the final third, as some of the storylines felt a little repetitive. Once the plot was well-established, the show reused its formula for several of the smaller arcs. But once I was back on it, I was quickly immersed.

I would recommend this to anyone needing Republic Era recommendations or to those who enjoy short content. As a whole, I think this is a solid watch
