Poetic ... artistic ... but too slow
I can see why some people thought this show was beautiful. It was indeed well made, well acted, and had a certain poetic nature to it. Like a piece of art. The kind of thing that would win an oscar if it was a movie. But as a piece of entertainment, it fell short. I really wanted to like it, because it was so ... nice. But it was hard to get any feeling of continuity witb the nonstop back and forth in the time line. I don't mind a little flashback to provide some context, but there was so much of it, never going back to the present for more than 10 minutes. The context of the past is good, but ultimately you want to know how the protagonists end up. And you literally have to wait until the last 5 minutes for that. I had to fastforward the heck out of the last 4 episodes. Again, I really wanted to like this, but in the end, it disappointed me.
