This series has beautiful moments, powerful moments, and there are times when it is terribly enjoyable to watch. The actors weren't bad at all, and while I'm not at all sure the director gets credit, their roles suited them. The series doesn't rush anywhere, but at the same time it's like the editor wanted to speed it up terribly and some of the transitions, scenes, don't build on each other, don't feel natural at all. The same goes for the way time passes in the series. It's so non-specific that you can't tell if it's been two days, three weeks, or six months. When you've got people dying, time is quite important, so their desire to live a day longer was pretty much drowned out in that. Plus a lot of the dying that the show focused on didn't really have that many complications, they were just suddenly dead. Despite some aspects I didn't like, the series was fun to watch, had strong moments, and was able to bring emotions out of the viewer, sometimes violently, sometimes very naturally. It's not a romance, it's more of a drama, and you’ll want to eat while you’re watching it. All the time. Watch out for that! A series that wants to convey something to the viewers, and that something was nicely said at the end by the bastard's brother – a wasted today is the tomorrow wanted by the one who died yesterday. 70%.
