What is it about this show? On the surface, there's no single element that I especially like, I'm not into the topic at all, there's no good reason I should like this show, nothing I can point to to say "This, this is what I like about it". But I do like it, and I don't know why.

It's a well written piece of observational drama about interesting, believable characters.

Very human characters with very human flaws who are all just trying their best, but all their petty life stuff feels small against the vast scope of the history that they explore. There's something soothing about that.

It has a wonderful sense of humanity. Something sorely missing from most productions these days
