The first 3 episodes of this series is fine--not great or even good--but passably entertaining, but the final episode "Sins of the Father" is so hair-raisingly racist you will be transported back to the 1920s when Asian characters were presented as sub-human despots. The main character, a young Vietnamese woman who has struggled her way through medical school, is afraid to contradict her father's "arranged marriage" to an older wealthy Vietnamese man, and so she marries him. When she tells him she was raped as a young girl on a refugee boat, her betrothed goes into a madman's froth and begins beating her and her father to death... ergo, the plot. I didn't watch beyond this because I've seen enough racism of this genre to last a lifetime.

It is well made and so realistic. Sometimes I feel like not watching certain episodes because of the title of the episode. You do such a great job that I get transported into the stories. Makes you open your eyes to the pain and suffering of the world. From cartels to human trafficking to illegals etc. I do want Nicky to have a true constant love in the series.
