Hi, Birdie! My apologies for the late reply.

I totally understand what you’re saying. But I must confess I’d like a second season. While I do feel bad for Michael (he DOES seem like a genuinely nice guy), I find Rose’s interest in the Captain really interesting. It’s an emotion that seems to go against her nature which is what makes the relationship (or idea of one) so captivating. Rose isn’t a normal heroine which is why I don’t think she’d deal with these feelings in the normal ways. That said, if this would progress beyond what it already has, I wouldn’t personally approve if for no other reason than, as you wisely say, it would end badly.

Glad you stopped by and shared your thoughts!

I don’t know if I want a second series yes or no, it can only end bad for Rose, Captain Dreyfus and poor Michael…

True, Brittaney. This series took a very different approach to the norm of this era, and that’s refreshing. 🙂

As did I, Emma! So good. I loved the “quiet nature” of it, and like you, really liked Aaron and his character. I’ve read that the cast is interested in returning for more (or some of them), so that makes me hopeful we could return for a more “settled” conclusion. 🙂

But after reading your review I have gained another perspective. I do love how the show has highlighted a piece of history that isn’t discussed often -a neutral Ireland.
