Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and history buffs. If you loved The Pacific or Never Have I Ever, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Funny with heart, intense.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two.
What might put you off

  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
