“(WARNING SPOILERS)
I made the mistake of rating the show before I finished it, so I’m coming back here to
completely change my review. I wrote my first one in the middle of the penultimate episode, when I felt bad for Kate’s family as they listened to the truth about their beloved patriarch. I thought, what is Redman trying to accomplish here? What is the point of hurting these people?
But, as Tristan says himself in the final episode: it’s all about Naomi. She is the ancestor to revere. Our female ancestors are often overlooked and her extraordinary accomplishments weren’t part of the family narrative; her narcissistic husband’s grandiose lies were. Whether he really killed her or not, she’s the one who deserves to be revered. She is the one to be proud of. Now I know why Dancy hardly mentions her at all in his memoirs. Her story is better than his - and it’s real.
This is an intensely fascinating story about, yes, ghosts… but mostly it’s about family identity and our relationship with the past. Even when history is painful, it needs to be told and it needs to be truthful. Whitewashing history serves no one. Redman is incredibly honest and open about his motives and possible bias. I, too, don’t really believe in ghosts. But I think in this case, Naomi wanted Redman to tell her story - and he felt compelled to oblige.”
