I like this series up to a point. Up to a point it's funny, entertaining and poignant, and the setting is breathtakingly beautiful. However, the stopping point of admiration for me, which knocks off four stars, is the clichéd use of lesbian relationships. Why does every writer these days think that they have to turn even apparently heterosexual people into lesbians, or in some cases gay men? A few episodes in I feel as if I am watching the lesbian chronicles at times and it is spoiling a good show. I am 76 and have had two gay friends and five gay acquaintances in the whole of that time. Of course, people don't have to hide their preferences in fear and shame these days, which is a good thing, but it is so, so annoying to have the gay agenda pushed into your face in almost every single film or series on TV these days. You know that old saying that the English kitchen has three taps, hot. Cold and custard? Well this theme is like the custard tap, unimaginative cuisine.
