Script review - "Harots" by Moira Buffini ep 1

Excellent work - gorgeous use of language, strong and vivid characters, an interesting period of time and point of view (paid sex workers in the olde days) with a fresh take on marriage (to be feared because you'd lose your rights) and ownership (the dream of harlots was to be "bought" by a lord who would be responsible for your debts). Good family drama at core with mum and her two daughters. I did wonder how much "legs" it had... as in for a long running series... but it's a great piece of work.
