The lead roles were well-played, the lead characters were sympathetic, and the story was drew me in.
The backdrop of the main storyline, in India in 1778, was interesting and realistic, except that the British East India Company leaders were all hopelessly one-dimensional villains. The main story timeline is 18th century India. The opening story timeline is set in the fairly near future, sometime later in the 21st century, with what appear to be Americans. The score is terrific, the scenery is gorgeous, the acting is mostly pretty good, and the story is.
