Reviews
"[The first two episodes] ... know how to convince with their alternation between jagged montage, dreamy fairytale-likeness and the appearance of Natalie Dormer and Lily Sullivan."
“The story is not only mysterious, but also provided with tragedy [...]. People die, cheat and punish severely here. "
