We bought the DVD and watched this show after visiting the Random Passage film site in Trinity Bay, Newfoundland (worth a visit btw).
This show is a bit slower-paced than today's shows, being 20 years old, but that really fits for the theme of life in an isolated outport.
The show gets better and more intense as it goes on. The main characters: Thomas, Mary, Lavinia and Ned are all superbly acted.
I really can't think of another show I've seen where I became so involved in the fate of the characters. You really feel their vicissitudes and their triumphs in a way that is unusually strong. This series is under-rated and deserves more attention.
