Yeah, that's it exactly, I was hoping for a Sarah, Plain and Tall vibe too. And it had a few moments where it almost got there, but too few, sadly. Everyone was just so... good. And bland. And calm. As placid as Holsteins. You didn't really miss much, though if they rerun it and you're bored or having trouble sleeping or just in the mood for some shallow-but-lovely period eye candy, it's certainly not a strain to watch. A bit like cinematic Jello, or maybe rice pudding, to stick with my overuse of "wholesome."

Mmm, Aidan Quinn. It's been far too long since I've seen him in anything. Must fix that post haste. *g*
