Not an awesomely strong series as a whole, compared to some other slice-of-life shows. I think this story suffered from the same thing Claude himself suffered: It was oft too awkward, it failed to communicate enough (connect with the audience), it didn't have many friends, and it shut itself inside the familiar four walls too much. I hoped for much more based on the first eps, but at least this single season lenght didn't provide enough opportunities for the characters to really develop. Unfortunately I also felt like they failed to really tap into the possibilities the interesting historical setting would have provided.

It was a nice enough series but will not rank particularly high on my list. Au revoir.
