Jun 16, 2017My Mother and Other Strangers, written by Barry Devlin, is beautifully filmed, and, like so many “Masterpiece” productions, it certainly offers transport to another time and place. It has a wistful appeal. But the series relies too much on one-dimensional characters--particularly the local men who are always itching for a brawl--and story lines that rarely go to unexpected places. It’s pleasant, slight, and a tad too obvious.

Low-key charmer. [12-25 Jun 2017, p.15]

An invasion [of American soldiers] that doesn’t entirely sit well with some of the local men, resentful of the Yanks making moves on their women. That resentment has many causes, a fact the film doesn’t make much of. The same can be said about virtually everything in this tale, so determinedly and wearyingly sweet-natured.
