It had me until the last three episodes, where they decided to give a very factually inaccurate account of an illness's progression, jumping and oscillating between far separate stages. I understand the need to create tension and tragedy and happy release, but it simply was too far beyond reason for me to accept. Either the early portrayal of the illness was mischaracterized or the jumps and oscillations were incorrect. Though the feelings were there due to how well the characters draw you in early on, it lacked the resolution and connection that the early episodes so well established. It needed four more episodes and a better written climax and denouement. It is sad that it did not get the ending that the first half deserved.
