What BollyAI Thinks
Series 3 pushed into the early 1960s and confronted the thalidomide disaster directly - a topic British television had handled only glancingly before. The writing maintained its documentary seriousness, and the episode dealing with a thalidomide-affected birth stands among the strongest the show produced. The season also began the transition away from Jessica Raine as Jenny Lee toward the ensemble format that would define later series. The serial structure showed occasional formulaic tendencies, but the show's command of its historical period and its audience remained unwavering.
