I'd have given this ten out of ten if they'd shown Jack meeting Sara at the end, but for what they did they lose a star. I don't normally watch this romantic drama type series, but the look between the two main characters as he walked down the stairs in the art gallery shot through me like a past reminder of love long lost, and from then on I was hooked. never mind the sub plot with the death of Lou and Karstens empire, the illicit love affair was brilliantly portrayed, Hannah Ware is a babe, she melted my heart like no other actress has in TV or movies. all the comments about her hair didn't matter a jot, she, well, she was awesome. I think a lot of people liked this because it took them back to the first time they fell head over heels in love, that feeling of knowing your life is about to change and you really didn't care only when you were with the "one". I'm not condoning adultery, but when the forces of love strike you, it's so difficult to manage it without hurting someone. Jack and Sara tried, but in the end he copped out. His,and ours, loss.
score 9/10
