Smother

Too many secrets for one show. Not one character to care about. The scenery is the best part of this show.

I binge watched this series as I found it to be compelling viewing. This has to be the most crazy, mixed up, co-dependant family I have ever seen. Just when you thought there could not possibly be more secrets and lies more appear. There are no endearing traits about any of these people, they manage to create drama after drama, lie through their teeth, and undermine each other. They seem to thrive on their way of life. Of course there are always the tables groaning with food and the huge glasses of wine, most of them are never in a scene without a glass of wine. Having said all that it was very watchable.

Surprised at these low ratings. I thought this was a very well acted and thought out drama.

As well as the murder mystery, it had interesting sub plots throughout. I agree with some other reviews that it was a slow start and not everything was clear; it was a bit confusing as to what the characters were talking about, however everything is explained but the end. And the ending was good, never guessed who the killer was. I recommended!!!

At first there is just too much put on the plate so it comes off a bit confusing. It gets better as it goes along but it never does bring you out of your seat... but the acting is good and it is somewhat entertaining.

I genuinely think this is a beautiful series. Crime and family drama interwoven. Some people saying that this is so boring and slow-paced is such a sign of the times. Everything has to be fast, full of action and solved within a 30-minute episode. This isn't that. This takes time to percolate, to show different sides, to reveal memories, to cleverly create many suspects, to show beautiful scenery in all kinds of weather, to build characters. Very, very atmospheric, well-acted and beautiful.
