dark sad medium-paced

This family drama was a bit dark. It spans the '70s to the 2010s. The characters are all so nuanced and you can't help but root for some of them while despising others.

There were times that I was so mad at the character of Jayne.. especially when she accused her ex-husband of a terrible thing that I never believed he did. When you get the "why" she did this, it's so heartbreaking and I felt that if therapy had been a bigger thing back in the 70s, it would have helped her work through her trauma but she really had no one to turn to.
