Never too heavy or too light, the show has a most agreeable tone. LOVE Sarah Lancashire in this (and everything else), and she feels perfect for this part. Whether true to life or not, it's gratifying to see a partnership - Julia and Paul - that is mutually respectful and supportive, esp. One in the 60s. The supporting cast is well chosen. Though 8 episodes feels as if it might strain my good will if each isn't substantive, I think I'll make it through just fine since it's a wonderful cross stitching companion.
