The first two, maybe three episodes looked promising, then we started to get bored with all the rehash and blurring of the individual stories which all end up with loose ends. Such a pity, the acting is outstanding as you would expect from Firth, Collette and Stuhlbarg and all the rest of the cast, the "children", all absolutely fabulous. But great acting does not make a good story. In the end it was a waste of time. I gave it a rating of 5 only for the actors.
