Kind of refreshing to see most things dealt with like that back then rather than become a moral lecture as soaps seem to do now.
I've made it to the New Year episodes - not sure I'll keep up with it from there but enjoyed what I've seen so far and the stripped back nature. Obviously the cast builds up as the show goes on but really refreshing to have a cast of a dozen or so compare to the 60-70 soaps have now. It's no surprise the audiences of today don't connect to the characters as much.
