3.5

I generally enjoyed this. What keeps me from rating it higher is that, in my opinion, there were too many “characters.” I think some of the people mentioned were given attention for no reason. It took the focus away from the people I actually cared about. Had it stuck to focusing on the family and the people very close to them, I think I would have enjoyed it more.
