I looked at the IMDb reviews for the first time today, and can only agree with so much of the prose regarding the acknowledgement of the incredible technical achievement of the series to date, but the lackluster characterisation and development.
Maybe the series is something new to younger viewers. However, to those of us a tad older, it feels like we have seen this story so many times in previous films dating back decades.
I have listened to John Orloff on a couple of podcasts before the series started. He made it very clear that the series was epic and was going to be painstaking in following the evidence available. In consequence, I was very much looking forward to the series.
Conceivably, it is the scale that has something to do with the lack of character development. Reflecting on 'Memphis Belle', I actually prefer the latter to the tv series to date. Again, maybe it is the scale that is the key differentiator?
I will, nevertheless, stay with 'Masters...' and hope I am able to appreciate more than the dated tropes I feel I have seen to date. Nevertheless, we are three episodes in and truly wish I could generate more enthusiasm for the coming episode.

Conceivably, this is something you need to stick with to appreciate just how wonderful it is. Also - some elements are harrowing - hence, conceivably, it could have a detrimental effect on a watcher whose spirits are not in the best place.
I thought this was a wonderful drama. After the first episode, I was moved at different points during all the resulting episodes. Wonderful...
Phenomenal performances by the entire cast - but especial plaudits go to Thomasin McKenzie, who played versions of the adult protagonist, persistently maintaining a sense of stoicism combined with vulnerability - yet also incorporated differing characteristics in accordance with the experiences she had endured,.
A remarkable piece of television - if only there were more of this calibre...

Appreciate the attempt to be Hitchcockian. Great to see a movie in Greece - certainly gives the film distinct personality. There are points where the script is cleverer than I, as I believe I missed the pre-logic to what subsequently occurred in some scenes. Quite probably paints a picture of Greece that may be off-putting to tourists once the world gets back to a semblance of normality.
