The acting is sometimes too good for a soap, I had a similar feeling when I watched Knots Landing.
It's a great theme. Fat fingers on a small smartphone can lead to mistakes.You don't like Howard's Way theme @Angela Channing ?
like Mel O'Drama, I watched the pilot episodes just for the heck of it.
But I was not prepared for the overwhelming feeling of "coming home".
It's always been a favourite series of mine but it kind of ended up being overshadowed by the beautiful American soap operas.

I have fallen in love with these characters all over again, probably more than the first time
the show's villainess is far more complex and consistently entertaining than her American counterparts.
Being the eightiests soap isn't necessarily a good thing, though. But the egotism, ambition and lust for enterprise was portrayed in a very convincing way.
It also featured an actress whom you'd expect to see in every other British tv series, but her IMDb page looks surprisingly obscure.
I hadn't really thought of it, but I think you're right - it was all about branching out.but I think in terms of its aspirational Eighties zeitgeist, Howards' Way has more in common with Knots Landing.
