A sprawling, talky seventies miniseries that trades on wealth, intrigue and identity, unfolding slowly with a serious, melodramatic air.

How it feels: Tense, earnest, melancholic and romantic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, family, power, betrayal
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
