I really liked this series. I can understand the people who felt lukewarm about it - it has its fair share of contrivances and slightly unbelievable plot twists. But what made it for me were the performances - mostly 10/10 imo - and the way it didn't overreach into the backgrounds of the families to try and explain why they were so dysfunctional. I thought the direction was good and the storyline just about plausible. And the ending was satisfying - obviously very contrived, but the key message that the sins of the fathers do not necessarily have to be visited on the generations that follow left me feeling a bit more upbeat about life, especially after being in Covid isolation for a few days :)
