Firstly, one thing we all will notice that there is HUGE difference to other shows set in the 1800s. Usually the cast would be predominantly white. Lets not skirt around it. However, this amazing show not only has fabulous characters of all race and cultures, the first I've seen where a mixed race couple in the 19th century is the norm. Obviously historically speaking this would have been illegal, a queen of England being anything but white unheard of. This show breaks that barrier, creating a world we could only wish was actually our true history.
The stories run together so well it feels natural, where some shows can struggle to keep up with multiple storylines going. It's never confusing or hard to follow, it flows so well.
I could go on but genuinely do not want to spoil the show for anyone that may want to give it a go, so I'll leave you with this:
I honestly think this show is the best to have come about in a VERY long time, certainly worth the 8 hour binge.
