This drama is, at the time of writing, available on Netflix. At only twelve episodes of under 30 minutes each, this has very little wasted moments, using the time it has wisely to build up a leisurely, concise, and rather intense show, all in one small package. Even if you find that you aren't immediately drawn in, this is definitely worth watching all of the way through.

To start off with, the show is rather slow to build up. It carefully develops a tone and atmosphere that matches in with the mood and character of the main protagonist; it is melancholy, understated, and almost detached. However, as the story rolls forward, this restrained tone becomes intense, and despite the short amount of time the drama has to play with, we truly get a picture of each of the women living in the house. I found I had to take a break about midway through, because I was almost overwhelmed by the intensity - a first, for me. However, despite this pick up in pace, the show never felt rushed.

To me, this was an absolutely solid drama, with a great cast and set of characters. This is listed as 18+/R on here, but on Netflix it is a 15. I imagine this is more to do with one particular scene than anything much else, but there is nothing overly graphic shown on screen for those of you that might be put off by that.
