I heard Gurinder Chadha the writer /film director talking about it on Woman's Hour a while ago and it sounded like an Indian Downton Abbey.
You're right, it is a bit slow, and it was slated for that a bit in the Radio Times. However, as far as I'm concerned, that means I can look at the scenery and the costumes more closely, without the drama being too frenetic.
It's good to keep us guessing for a bit, anyway!
It's so unusual, though, that I will forgive any directing shortcomings that there might be!
Talking about Indian dramas, does anyone remember The Far Pavilions, many years ago?
Starring Ben .Cross and a monumental cast..... (1984! Crumbs!)

I really enjoyed that at the time.
The other big one, of course, was The Jewel in the Crown.
I wish they would repeat that.
