Very good first episode. But I did not expect this to be nearly as heavy and sad as the Anne Frank show we are also watching.

Sarayu Blue was a great choice here. She's always terrific.

It's a heavy opening episode but the following episode takes it to another level. And wow, Sarayu's husband is the king of all assholes.
