A tragedy from the past resurfaces, and a family splinters in consequence; we've seen this done before. It holds its cards close to its chest at first, and the 'initially undisclosed two different historical timeframes interspersed in parallel' device probably added to the impact, albeit partly by disguising some of the lack of distinctive characterisation, with some of the critical action being motivated in only the broadest of generic strokes. It was involving enough, though, so despite its flaws, pretty good in all its seriousness. (Also, a bit of a quibble but I didn't like the way Q is more or less a plot device who doesn't get her own story or ending.)
