While I agree that this production could use a bit of tightening up, the acting is excellent with special attention to the two leads roles, Abeni and Jen. There is a problem with European countries absorption of asylum seekers but this series takes the time of the agonies experienced by the immigrants that caused them to leave their native countries and the challenges faced by them in their adopted home. We first meet Abeni when she lands on the coast of Italy. Her husband died from chemical burns on board the boat and she must now face an uncertain future as she raises her two sons and try her best to provide for them and keep them out of trouble. Crime and corruption are always a danger. I stuck with it and I'm glad I did.
