Unannswered questions leaves some frustration and missed potential

I really like the concept of this groundhog day concept where a women is reborn again and again to change her life. Episode 2 got so drab I began to wonder if she was going to get another chance to change things. Thank God she did!

Killing Hitler is of course always the time travelers' dream but unfortunately we never saw the consequences of her action as she died almost immediately afterwards. It would have been good to see an alternative reality without Hitler's war even if it was changed back again in the next life. That is frustration number one, a missed opportunity.

Then there was a question of Ursula's abusive husband and her mysterious sister that no one remembered. I suspect she had the same last name because she was actually his ex-wife or maybe he was a bigamist but this was never cleared up, just a question left unanswered. Maybe it is explained in the book; I don't know, I haven't read it. Frustration number two.

Also the unecessary fight between him and Teddy when all Teddy had to do before he was pumelled was blurt out that he was Ursula's brother is the third frustration although it hardly mattered as that is when Ursula died.

Then there is the rather odd ending where Ursula seems suddenly resigned to not saving Teddy but this is not made clear, or if she will be reborn and try to change things again. Is this because there will be a second series? Is this how the book ended? Frustration number four.

In spite of this, I enjoyed it overall but it missed a lot of potential and the series could have been longer.
