This is an exceptional piece of work actually. Its structure will undoubtedly not be received well by many as it is quite a daring "avant guard" method against the usual prime TV drama format. The filmmakers managed to tell a story through an interview, making the story easier to analyze and probably more cost efficiently had it been a full dramatic narrative which I am guessing would have been too cost prohibitive, relegating this story to just a book. There is lots in the book that is not in the series, but I don't expect the series to replace the book. The series manages to bring out the humane story of these women as they struggled to survive and as they showed their love in an era of horrible prosecution by Romans who were only hungry for power and ego. These are people who only wanted to live in peace but were disallowed to have a normal life. I love the fact that the filmmakers didn't overdo the violence and action and focused more on the characters, and well yes on the love-making scenes.
