Sadly very close to reality for many gay people around the world even in 2019. A tragic story of forbidden love played out across several generations - it's beautifully done and movingly portrayed.
Possibly the second part could have been condensed? I felt that it rather detracted from the power of the first part. Part two was an altogether more run of the mill story with the writer seeming to want to wrap things up neatly for us.
A great cast and some solid performances the two leads in the first part (Oliver Jackson-Cohen and James McArdle) were particularly strong.
Part one on its own was worthy of 9 stars, part two only gets a six from me.
