Well cast, well acted in a gorgeous rural setting, a story of all the ups and downs and secrets and scandals and conflicts of a small English village before and after WWI as young Bert (touchingly played by 4 actors but especially Bill Jones) grows up.
Teeming with complex, three-dimensional characters: even the 'bad' ones having some kind, moral moments; even the 'good' ones occasionally giving in to negative impulses. (Although the villains are real and you will despise them!)
You very quickly come to care for these people as they face life's hardships and challenges and, sometimes, tragedy. It keeps you involved and invested in how things will sort themselves out.
